England and France, however, added to the list which all nations before the war had admitted to be contraband substances like cotton, which was very necessary in the manufacture of gun-cotton and other high explosives, gasoline fuel for the thousands of automobiles needed to transport army supplies, and rubber for their tires. Soon other substances were added to the list.
"Doing? Oh, Eph was taking a nap " "Taking a nap?" "Hal was tinkering with the gasoline motor, and I was reading." "Reading?" fumed Mr. Farnum. "What were you trying to do? Torment the life out of us?" "Were any of you folks worried?" asked Jack, smiling innocently at the excited crowd. "Worried?" ejaculated the boatbuilder. "I've telegraphed for a diver and a wrecking company's outfit."
At noon on the second day we reached Panj-kiang, the first telegraph station on the line. Its single mud house was visible miles away and we were glad to see it, for our gasoline was getting low. Coltman had sent a plentiful supply by caravan to await us here, and every available inch of space was filled with cans, for we were only one-quarter of the way to Urga.
Have Denver and Missou look after them." "Sure, ma'am," he said aloud; and to himself: "She's ce'tainly a thoroughbred. Does everything well she tackles. I never saw anything like it. I'm a Chink if she doesn't run this ranch like she had been at it forty years. Same thing with her gasoline bronc. That pinto, too. He's got a bad eye for fair, but she makes him eat out of her hand.
"What is it?" "What's the matter," says I, "with beating him to it?" "Why er by Jove!" says Ham. "I I wonder." He was still standin' there, holdin' the gasoline bottle and gazin' down the basement steps, as I passed on. Course, I was mostly joshin' him. Half an hour later and I'd forgot all about it. Never gave him a thought again until this mornin' I hears Mr.
In the entire pilgrimage of over two thousand miles through nine States and the province of Ontario, we did not find a town or village of any size where gasoline could not be obtained, and frequently we found it at cross-road stores, but not at Herkimer. Happily there was sufficient gasoline in the tank to carry us on; besides, we always had a gallon in reserve.

It is, of course, the explosion of gasoline mixed with air that causes an internal combustion engine to operate.
"The lad's game," said Cronin, with a commending look at the tall, easy figure by the steps. "But 'tis all like fly-by-night theatricals to me. The talk's bigger than the stage; there's a smell of gasoline in the air, and they're their own audience and scene-shifters."
I felt very kind and forgiving, because father had said I was to bring the car to our garage and he would buy gasoline and so on, although paying no old bills, because I would have to work out my own Salvation, but buying my revolver at what I paid for it. But Tom did not come.
"It does, but all petroleum's refined and the by-products they take off, which include gasoline, fetch a remarkably good price. Shake a few drops on the end of a hot log and we'll see how it lights." A fire burned in a ring of stones in the middle of the tepee and Benson carefully did as he was told. Hardly had the oil fallen on the wood than it burst into flame. "As I thought!" said Harding.
