After they were wiped out the wreckers still reaped their fine harvest by signaling ships onto reefs at night. Their descendants live down among some of the keys still. We call them 'conchs, around here. They're an illiterate, uncivilized, furtive, eccentric lot. And they pick up some sort of living off wrecked ships and off what cargo washes ashore from the wrecks.
For the next hour, while the troop worked at signaling, and map-reading, and advanced knot-tying, he did his part and forgot to be despondent. He even brightened when the logs were brought in and the theory of bridge building was applied. But when the bridge was done this time it held he lost interest. "The Wolf patrol " he heard Mr. Wall say. He roused himself and listened.
The accidents which had been almost the prevailing rule in the fifties and sixties were greatly reduced by the Westinghouse air-brake, invented in 1868, and the block signaling system, introduced somewhat later.
Zeke sauntered away carelessly, to avert suspicion but when he had got round a bend of the road he increased his speed, never looking back, lest he should see his father signaling for him. Philip breathed a sigh of relief. "I've got a messenger at last," he said. "Now my friends will know what has become of me when I don't come home to supper."
Cousin Irene is signaling me. I must go!" she added. "You will come to-morrow?" Thode promised, but he watched her slender figure disappear with a frown of troubled thought. How much did she know? Could it be that she, too, was interested in the Pool of the Lost Souls? Instead of a mere contest between himself and Wiley had it become a three-corner affair, with Willa the apex of the triangle?
The falling rain and the somber clouds helped Henry, in a way, as the whole forest was enveloped in a sort of gloom, and he was less likely to be seen. But when he had gone about half the distance he heard Indians signaling to one another, and, burying himself as usual in the wet bushes, he saw two small groups of warriors meet and talk.
I haven't heard that since I was a boy. On whose window?" "The Widow Mooney's, sir." "And it was the widow, I presume, who was signaling for aid. Well, I'll stand by and see what's wanted. You'd better come back also." "Aw, we don't want to," spoke Ted. "No, I suppose not. Still you're coming." The man had both boys firmly by their arms, and he turned in the gateway with them. As he did so, Mrs.
They waited about an hour and then began firing again. Between the shots they listened for a hail, but none came. "If he heard us he'd fire an answering shot," remarked Ned, when, for a time, they had again desisted from their signaling. "He couldn't," Fenn answered. "He left his gun in the tent." "That's queer," Bart spoke.
The light also began to break in Gus's face. "Ah, I know! It's what they do in war-time signaling. They call it heliographing, don't they? Same thing as telegraphing, only it's done without wires. And they use the same dots and dashes, too." "Yes, the Morse alphabet. Wish I knew it." "Same here. He surely must have something to say to us, or he wouldn't be kicking up all that rumpus."
Others were down for the Star Scout badge, and the silver and the bronze awards. Others had passed with peculiar distinction the many and difficult tests for first-class scout. One, a little fellow from the west, had won the camp award for signaling.
