Greatest Story of las Kind
Since jules Verne

and that lava might burst in upon
them any day
O'Malley and wainwright were
in charge, the first in Bermuda and
the second in the Azores Both had
been blooded in that first great dis
aster and both had won their spurs.
Allan trusted them as he would have
trusted himself. and they were the
only two that he did trust While
their headquarters were in the con-
struction cities they were never in
the offices excepting in response to a
summons from the chief. Like true
leaders. they were on the firing line
day and night. Sometimes they did
not leave the b1istering galleries for
days at a stretch. and their heroic
example kept their men in line even
more than the enormous wages.
And with the tunnel the cities and
lands Of the company grew apace.
They were taking out more than
1900 carloads of debris daily. Inn
mense tracts of land were created,
where swamp and ocean and shallow
stream had been before. Sandbanks,
shoals and islands were combined
and drawn together by the stream OF
rock and sand, and miles of new land
lifted its head above the waters
Allan's architects were as busy as
his engineers The most modern
harbors. with breakwaters, docks and
safeguards of all sorts were created.
Deep water came up to the enormous
quays and the biggest ocean liners
could lie there with the ease and
safety of a skiff. Streets and houses
leaped up where the ocean had been
but a few years before There were
hotels. banks. department stores,
churches, schools, libraries and mu-
seums where had been rubbish
heap.
The San Francisco call., 1913-11-08

One characteristic was common to
them all. They were without vege-
tation. They stood on sand and
broken granite. a binding mirror for
the suns hot light, and swept with
dust storms in the high winds. But
squares and parks and drives were
all laid out and the gardeners We're
busy Within few years they would
be model cities in every respect. As
1t was. Tunnel City. N j., had more
than 100000 inhabitants before the
tunnel was completed.
ALLAN CHANGED
And Allan was still the master of it
all. but a great change had come over
him with his whitening hair. He was
no longer the daring and dashing
challenger of nature that had begun
the digging OF the tunnel more than
Is years before. He gave every or
der and every change or strategy
careful consideration. but he gave the
final word. He was no longer callous
to the cost. Sometimes in his heart
he doubted for moment If the end
excused the price he was paying. In
the early days he was unmoved when
some sudden stroke Of bad luck wiped
out a dozen or score or even fifty
men. 1t could not be avoided--he was
doing his best-time had satisfied his
conscience.
But now that easy indifference had
forsaken him. He avoided the cas-
ualty statistics. When in his activ-
tiles about the borings the body of
even a single dead man crossed his
vision he WINGED. He spent time and
money without stint on the purchase
and development of safety appliances
and the most modern delicate scien-
tific instruments that might give
warning OF fire or food. When one
of these gave the faintest Indication
of the nearness OF danger he ordered
all work stopped and the galleries
cleared back for q safe distance
while the most careful soundings and
tests were made.
Ethel refused to be pushed into the
background as Maude had been, and
she was by his side every moment
that she could. But these moments

than half and all work concentrated
on the big mid-Atlantic boring. 1t
was time. Ethel had invested the
last cent of her personal fortune, and
even Lloyd himself and Wittersteiner
and their allies had more than one
uneasy day.
you are not working nearly as
hard as we are" the money king told
Allan one day. IT you don't begin
earning money pretty soon, we'll all
have to take jobs as conductors when
the thing Is done"
The overwhelming difficulty in the
ocean bornig was the handling Of the
men-arranging for proper air and
food and sleeping quarters. The far
ther they penetrated into the ocean
bed the greater this difficulty be-
came. They were driving only one
gallery in the main, and this added
to the ventilation problem, which the
double gallery arrangement made
comparatively simple. Oxygen plants
were necessary at short intervals
all along the boring. Temporary sub
stations had to be ground out Of the
solid rock, work that had no perma-
nent value, but was absolutely neces-
sary in the providing of air and food
and lodgings.
Then a new danger menaced. The
fear that the ocean might break in
upon them gave way to a new and
more terrible dread. They were $4,000
feet below sea level, and the heat
was appalling. In places even the
callous hoofed 1aborers could not
stand still comfortably. SO great was
the heat of the rock under foot.
A NEW FEAR
The belief grew among the work
men that they were approaching the
greater melted interior OF the earth
The San Francisco call., 1913-11-08

were few enougD, and became fewer
and fewer. and the work became
more desperate and exacting. His
hair was nearly white and he could
not remember when he had had an
untroubled night of rest. More and
more he was shut out from the world.
even the world of his home. Nothing
interested him but these two raw,
ragged rock ends. against which his
monster drills were laundering as
they drew nearer and nearer to-
gether, far under the bed Of the At
lantic.
Once a month or 50 he called on
Lloyd. The great financier was now
so old that he could not make much
of a physical effort without the great
est fatigue. But his mind was still
comparatively clear, and with Ethel's
aid he still directed the finances Of
the company.
ANOTHER SETBACK
In the 25 years after that mem
orable gathering on the roof of the
Hotel Atlantic disaster descended
upon the tunnel once more. Again it
was strike. 1T lasted only two
months. because Allan made every
concession and voluntarily added
many things to induce the men to
return to work.
1t came upon them with the sud-
dennesskof the explosion, and but for
OMalley's GOODNESS and courage there
might have been a panic such as had
caused the needless death of hun
dreds in that other catastrophe. The.
incident that precipitated it occurred,
fortunately, while O'Malley was per-
sonally directing the work at the
head of the boring.
The great driller had been tearing
into the rock at the rate OF five yards
to the minute, when suddenly 1t was
noticed that the thermometer had
risen five degrees in the last half
hour. There was an instant rush for
the trains, and here 1t was O'Maliey

time in great crisis. He brought
