porter's lodge by the gate. Azuma-zi tried to explain something,
but the messenger could make nothing of the black's incoherent
English, and hurried on to the shed. The machines were all noisily
at work, and nothing seemed to be disarranged. There was, however,

mass clinging to the front of the big dynamo, and, approaching,
recognised the distorted remains of Holroyd.
