CHAPTER VIII.


Every evening alter that. except
when 1t stormed, the prisoners went
up or the roof. These evenings were
the pleasantest part of the days.
During the day the chevalIer read
the daily papers and magazines with
great interest. He found plenty of
engrossing news there, especially the
preparations of the confederated navy
ana army. One article, very we'll
written by one of the chief engineers
particularly attracted his attention
That article described the z ray and
its destroyer. The supply station of
destruction was Madeira, from which
place heavy cables were laid to reach
the Both longitudinal meridian. along
which the 2 ray ran. The heaviest
current Of electricity was conducted
by this tremendous cable to three epe-
cially built boats. The Sampsonian
vibrating rays were generated on these
boats. Each ray made 5000, 900 vibra-
tons second and all were directed
In harmonious line toward the q ray
belt In time the wall of isolation
would fall down under the immense
force playing against It, and the In
vaslon OF America would follow.
After long study the chevalier
placed the magazine on the table and
muttered: THE time for action is
nearing"
One evening at the dinner table the
chevalier asked Captain Euler II he
could have some material for pyro-
technical displays In order to lessen
the monotony Of their existence.
The kind captain furnished every-
thing he asked for. The countess Of
Tered her services and they worked al
most all afternoon the next day get

seemed to be an expert: he soon had
q large Japanese wheel, several turn
Ing STARS and also number of long
sky rockets ready.
When evening came they excitedlv
for the grand fireworks. The
SKY was clear and the moon had not
yet risen. Chevalier di Leon arranged
ne Inherent pieces, and when the can
AIN came up he fired the first air run

SISTED him, Captain Euler had to
