While Berlin was trying to get into touch with Marshal Foch, and the end was coming into sight, the Americans along the Meuse put forth all the energy that was in them, in their eager desire to hand the enemy a final series of wallops. It was here one of the most brilliant exploits of the war occurred.
They'd buy the tapes just to make sure we weren't holding back information they could use." "Even a casual investigation would have told Lefty the data from Wallops firings is published by scientific publications," Scotty pointed out. "How could he have been so stupid?" "He fell into a natural trap," Steve answered. "Most people think there is military secrecy connected with rocket firings.
"Want to plan the operation?" Steve asked with a twinkle. Rick held up his hand. "Whoa! We didn't say that. You've got information we don't have." "Only one piece of information," Steve replied. "The time of the next launching from Wallops Island." "When?" Rick asked eagerly. "At dusk tonight." The Stingaree's Tail "This is the plan," Steve Ames said.
'Well, says I, 'I'm going to ask him to blow his damn horn under my window every morning at five o'clock, I says, 'and then I'm going to get up and poke my head out of the window and say: "Mister, you can get me up in the army, but on this occasion would you be obliging enough to go to hell"! And Mart, seeing that the money was gone from his dream, he turns over and wallops me with the blanket till I was merely a palpitating mass.
This latter, who's that obstinate an' resentful he won't go back to camp when I wallops him on that gray mare mornin', allows he'll secrete himse'f an' Tom off to one side an' worrit me up. While he's manooverin' about he gets the half-inch rope he's draggin' tangled good an' fast in a mesquite bush. It shorely holds him; that bush is old Jerry's last picket -his last camp.
He says she fetched th' pianny two or three wallops that made Cassidy jump out iv his chair, an' Cassidy has charge iv th' steam whistle at th' quarry at that. She wint at it as though she had a gredge at it. First 'twas wan hand an' thin th' other, thin both hands, knuckles down; an' it looked, says Slavin, as if she was goin' to leap into th' middle iv it with both feet, whin Donahue jumps up.
"That's what they call 'em, Geoff but there ain't much boxin' to it; real boxin' don't go down wid d' sports, it's d' punch they wanter see good, stiff wallops as jars a guy an' makes his knees get wobbly swings and jolts as makes a guy blind an' deaf an' sick. Oh, I been like that, an' I know an' it ain't all candy t' hear everybody yellin' to the other guy to go in an' finish ye!"
"Cobb will set up his equipment here at my house," Steve continued, "and try to intercept all signals from the mansion. McDevitt will set up here too, and track the balloon through my telescope if it rises watching until the rocket fires. McDevitt also will keep in touch with Wallops Island by radio, and notify me on the walkie-talkie when the countdown reaches thirty minutes."
Then we up and rushed what was left of 'em Piotto and his daughter. Bard makes a pass to knock the gun out of the hand of Joan and wallops her on the head instead. Down she goes. I finished Piotto with my bare hands." "Broke his back, eh?" "Me? Whoever heard of breakin' a man's back? Ha, ha, ha! You been hearin' fairy tales, son. Nope, I choked the old rat." "Were you badly hurt?"
Mighty glad to see you." "It is a relief to me, Comrade Brady," said Smith, "to find that you can see us. I had expected to find that Comrade Fisher's purposeful wallops had completely closed your star-likes." "Sure, I never felt them. He's a good, quick boy, is Dick, but," continued the Kid with powerful imagery "he couldn't hit a hole in a block of ice-cream, not if he was to use a coke-hammer."
