The German drew the pistol with an oath. Will Yerkes, beyond Fred and slightly behind the German, coughed meaningly. The German turned his head, to find that he was covered by a pistol as large as his own. "Oh, very well," he said, "what is the use of making a scene?" He thrust his pistol back under cover and shouted an order in Turkish. Monty returned to his place and sat down.
As he did so Yerkes stepped forward, and the Indian stationed himself at the back of the machine, where he could give it a push down the incline which lay before it, and against which the wheels had been blocked.
Simpson's tone implied that her mistress had been somewhat crassly sleeping while more sensitive persons had been awake and suffering. Elizabeth rubbed her eyes. "But what's wrong, Simpson, and where are we?" "Goodness knows, my lady. We're hours away from Winnipeg that's all I know and we're likely to stay here, by what Yerkes says." "Has there been an accident?"
He has always been the least talkative man in Wall Street, but, with all his reserve, he has remained the soul of courtesy and outward good nature. Here, then, we have the characters of this great impending drama Yerkes in Chicago, Widener and Elkins in Philadelphia, Whitney and Ryan in New York. These five men did not invariably work as a unit.
"May I come with you, if you are going to take it? Perhaps I could do something for the mother." The stranger hesitated a moment. "An emigrant car full of Galicians is rather a rough sort of place especially at this early hour in the morning. But if you don't mind " "I don't mind anything. Yerkes, is that all the milk?". "All to speak of, my lady," said Yerkes, nimbly retreating to his den.
"I'm Will Yerkes, Miss Vanderman." "Oh!" "I know Nurse Vanderman at the mission." "Yes, she spoke of you." "Fred Oakes here is " "Is English as they make them, yes, I know! Why the amazing efforts to " "I stand abashed, like the leopard with the spots unchangeable!" said Fred, and grinned most unashamedly. "They're both English." "Yes, I see, but why "
Edison in any capacity in which, in his judgment, they might be useful to him. The members of this committee were disposed to congratulate one another on the good work which they had so promptly accomplished, when at the moment of their adjournment, a telegraphic dispatch was handed to the President from Professor George E. Hale, the director of the great Yerkes Observatory, in Wisconsin.
After successful preliminary tests with the 40-inch refracting telescope of the Yerkes Observatory, Professor Michelson made the first attempt to see the fringes with the 60-inch and 100-inch reflectors on Mount Wilson in September, 1919. He was surprised and delighted to find that the fringes were perfectly sharp and distinct with the full aperture of both these instruments.
Meanwhile, in giant telescopes affected to the full extent by chromatic aberration, such as the Lick and Yerkes refractors, the differences of focal length for the various colours are counted by inches, and this not through any lack of skill in the makers, but by the necessity of the case. Embarrassing consequences follow.
The fact that, after having reduced the railway system of Chicago to financial pulp and physical dissolution, he finally unloaded the whole useless mass, at a handsome personal profit, upon his old New York friends, Whitney and Ryan, and decamped to London, where he carried through huge transit enterprises, clearly demonstrated that Yerkes was a buccaneer of no ordinary caliber.
