Upon heating with nitric acid it partly dissolves, and the remainder becomes flaky and gelatinous. Apopholite, although quite rare, now may be bought from the men, or at least one of the engineers of Shaft No. 2's elevator, and generally at low terms. Phrenite. This mineral is quite abundant in Shafts No. 1 and 2, in very small masses, incrustations, and even in small crystals.
He proved a good friend in necessity, for almost immediately our 9.2's opened on 6th Avenue, the heads of the Huns disappeared, and the survivors made quickly for the communication trench. One of them, in entering, stepped on the body of an officer; he turned him over, and saw that it was Captain Attride. The casualties were naturally very heavy.
In the small hours of the 21st I was dozing in my dug-out, where I had been reading Lowes Dickinson's Choice Before Us, a congenial book at such a time, with nine-tenths of which I was in complete agreement. I then heard a series of Austrian "4.2's" come sailing over my dug-out and burst just at the foot of the bank.
The sufferer fell back exhausted with his labor, but bathed in glory. Now entered a personal friend of No. 2, the despoiled soldier. No. 2 pleaded with him with eloquent eyes, till presently he understood, and removed the coffin from under No. 1's bed and put it under No. 2's.
The Secretary could of course buy 4's and 4-1/2's in the open market, and during 1888 this was to some extent done. Obviously, if entered upon in a large way, it must have greatly carried up the price of those bonds.
Led as usual by "Sunloch," the party galloped past the 9.2's and halted at the entrance to the village to try and "time" the Boche shells. One came, they dashed in, turned the corner and just got clear in time; the next shell skimmed over the last groom's head and wounded a German prisoner. Our conference with the Tank officers caused a slight alteration in Colonel Griffiths' plan of attack.
'Blitzen! exclaimed the German angrily. 'Then the message was true after all. Those verdomde British have managed to pass the mine-fields. 'And where is the submarine? he demanded savagely. 'She was forced to abandon us. One of your warships hove in sight. The German paused a moment. His eyes scanned the surface in every direction. But there was no sign of G 2's periscopes.
You remember Smith's factory was burnt because 'No. 2's' suction hose leaked, and the 'tub' couldn't be worked." "That's it; in time of peace prepare for war." "Where's the Butterfly now?" asked Tim, who did not feel much interest in this exposition of duty. "She is headed up to Rippleton River," replied Frank. "I hope she does not mean to venture among the rocks."
But I cannot claim that it was owing to them or my failure to understand them that my dismissal came, for, in spite of the absence of 3's in my markings and the abundance of 2's, I was still a soldierly cadet, and in spite of the fact that I was a stupid student, I made an excellent drill-master.
In this quarry, in an evil-smelling but very deep dug-out lived Battalion Headquarters; everybody else occupied trenches in the fields round about. On the opposite side of the lane was a battery of 9.2's, firing almost continuously day and night, making it almost impossible to reach the Headquarters, and quite impossible to ride down the lane. Altogether our surroundings were unpleasant.
