Hastily he shot through the crowd, organizing the bucket brigade and searching for news of the Argonaut pump, which had not yet arrived. Half-disgusted, Fairchild turned and started up the hill, a few miners, their carbide lamps swinging beside them, following him. Far in the rear sounded the wails of Sam Herbenfelder, organizing his units of search.
I know now what I specially came for. Tom has promised to call for me this morning." "Who is Tom?" asked Florence. "Don't you know? What a short memory you have! I told you something about him last night my clever journalist brother. He is on the staff of the Daily Tidings, and the new six-penny magazine that people talk so much about, the Argonaut. He has a splendid post, and has great influence.
"I could not rest," said Mrs. Levice; "this chair is all I require." "If you would lie on the couch here," he urged, "you would find the position easier." "No, no! I could not." He looked at Ruth. "I shall go by and by," she answered. Arnold had long since gone out. Ruth's by and by stretched on interminably. Kemp took up the "Argonaut" that lay folded on the table.

The modern J. thought of this in his predicament, and having turned it in his mind, he concluded that whereas the pioneer Argonaut did not meet his princess till after his encounter with the elements, he was not worthy of consideration; for had he known her and loved her as some one knew and loved some one else at that moment, most likely he would not have valued his life so slightly.
He explained that the Argonaut was not only a submarine boat, but much besides. She not only swims either on the surface or beneath it, but she adds to this accomplishment the extraordinary power of diving deep and rolling along the bottom of the sea on wheels.
