(Excerpt): "After becoming acquainted with gun-cotton, nitro-glycerine, dynamite, lithofracteur, and other combinations of powerfully-explosive agents, I took to searching for and inventing methods by which these might be utilised. To turn everything to good account, is a desire which I cannot resist. Explosives naturally drew my attention to mines—tin-mines, coal-mines, and other commercial enterprises. They also suggested war and torpedoes. At that time I had not reflected on the nature of war. I merely knew it to be a science, cultivated chiefly by the human race, and that in its practice explosives are largely used. To "blow-up" effectively, whether in a literal or figurative sense, is difficult. To improve this power in war, and in the literal sense, I set myself to work. I invented a torpedo, which seemed to me better than any that had yet been brought out. To test its powers, I made a miniature fortification, and blew it up. I also blew up our groom, Jacob Lancey."

Much to my surprise, I found that neither Nicholas Naranovitsch nor Bella nor my mother wouldconsent to witness my experiments with dynamite that day.As my old chum approached to greet me on the lawn before breakfast the day following, I could nothelp admiring his fine, tall, athletic figure. I don't know how it is, but I have always felt, somehow, asif I looked up at him, although we were both exactly the same height-six feet one without ourboots. I suppose it must have been owing to his standing so erect, while I slouched a little. Perhapsmy looking up to him mentally had something to do with it."You'll come to-day, won't you?" I said, referring to the experiments."Of course I will, old boy; but," he added, with a smile, "only on one condition.""What may that be?""That you don't bother Bella with minute details."Of course I promised not to say a word unless asked for explanations, and after breakfast we allwent to a part of the grounds which I wished to bring under cultivation. It was at that timeencumbered with several large trees, old roots, and a number of boulders."Come along with us, Lancey," I said to the groom, who was also my laboratory assistant, andwhom I met in the stable-yard, the scene of his memorable blowing-up. "I am about to try the effectof an explosive, and wish you to understand the details.""Yes, sir," replied Lancey, with a respectful touch of his cap; "I must say, sir, if you'll allow me, Inever knowed any one like you, sir, for goin' into details except one, and that one-""Ah, yes, I know, that was your friend the Scotch boy," said I, interrupting; but Lancey was aprivileged servant, and would not be interrupted."Yes, sir," he resumed, "the Scotch boy Sandy. We was at school together in Edinburgh, where I gotthe most o' my edication, and I never did see such a boy, sir, for goin' into-""Yes, yes, Lancey, I know; but I haven't time to talk about him just now. We are going to the bit ofwaste ground in the hollow; follow us there."
