There was no doubt left to me; the atmosphere of the moon was either pure oxygen or air, and capable therefore unless its tenuity was excessive of supporting our alien life. We might emerge and live! I sat down with my legs on either side of the manhole and prepared to unscrew it, but Cavor stopped me. "There is first a little precaution," he said.
While he was in the act of getting his bearings Mr Bloom who noticed when he stood up that he had two flasks of presumably ship's rum sticking one out of each pocket for the private consumption of his burning interior, saw him produce a bottle and uncork it or unscrew and, applying its nozz1e to his lips, take a good old delectable swig out of it with a gurgling noise.
Singleton would be on duty, and he rarely came aft. There was no sound of footsteps. I lit a match and examined the lock. It was a simple one, and as my idea now was to free myself without raising an alarm, I decided to unscrew it with my pocket-knife.
"Yes," admits Mr. Robert, "if he happened to be in the blaming mood. Anyway, young man, there you have a direct challenge. Within the next week the inner sanctum of the Corrugated Trust is to be assailed by one who claims that he can penetrate the impenetrable, know the unknowable, and unscrew the inscrutable." "Well, that's cute of him," says I. "I'm bettin', though, he never gets to his man."
I ventured to unscrew one of my chairs, which were always fastened to the floor; and having made a hard shift to screw it down again, directly under the slipping board that I had lately opened, I mounted on the chair, and putting my mouth as near as I could to the hole, I called for help in a loud voice, and in all the languages I understood.
"Sure, I'm glad," said Lise, and began to unscrew the top of the salt shaker. "I don't see why I couldn't get a raise, too. I work just as hard as she does." Edward, who had never got a "raise" in his life, was smitten with compunction and sympathy. "Give 'em time, Lise," he said consolingly. "You ain't so old as Janet." "Time!" she cried, flaring up and suddenly losing her control.
I ran to it, and began to unscrew the fastening, for it was closed tightly to keep out the spray, since more than once a great wave had struck against it with a heavy thud that evening, and we did not want a wet cabin to add to our other miseries. I swung open the round iron frame, and gazed at the furious sea, all covered with its white foam, but there was nothing visible for a time.
"I only know that they can shut their mouths; and the devil himself I beg your pardon, madam Old Nick himself never could unscrew them." "You are right, Sir. I know their manner well. They are open as the sky with one another, but close as the grave to all the world outside them, and most of all to people of authority like you." "Mistress Anerley, you have just hit it.
Harold, following his example, was rummaging under the back seat for his tools; he threw a kit and a jack out into the road calling, "There you are, Wilkinson! You unscrew the rim-cleats, and I'll jack her up." "That's a funny-looking jack!" observed Ruth, looking at it curiously. "It's a new kind," retorted Harold knowingly, thinking that Ruth, like most girls, probably knew nothing about tools.
"But we cannot afford to dwell upon that now. We are in peril. Do you really know where we are? for what you are steering?" "It is largely a guess; there is nothing to give me guidance, except as I unscrew the face of this compass and feel the needle." "Then we may still be within view from the deck of the Sea Gull at daybreak?" "Yes; that will depend entirely upon luck."
