outside. Before 1t had subsided the
dymamos in the strange collection
were humming and droning with un-

ports stared out into the gloom like
eyes OF FIRE suddenly opened from
sleep.
From the Norma there shot UP into
the sky swiftly alternating streaks OF
red, white and blue, the night signal
asking II all was ready. From the
other monsters came flashing answers
of accuiescence. There was an in

slight upward shock and lifted slowly

like gigantic birds OF the night, they
took flight in a great swinging circle
until they reached common altitude.
The cheer below had died away, and
all was still.

air was riyen by mighty chorus from

It was in the long gray dawn OF the
summer morning, and the wide reach

light, seemed asleep in its quietude

drive her 1900 tons of steel through

In the stiffness OF the morning there
came sudden, sharp exclamation
