It was a horrible thought which oppressed the two jokers. But they were not the kind to remain inactive.
Something must be done.
Barney realized this. If the machinery was out of order the cause must be found and remedied.
He rushed down into the engine-room and began to examine it.
At once he saw the trouble.
One of the heavy dynamos had become unshelved, and the lever wire was twisted and broken.
Barney instantly shouted:
“Come down here, naygur!”
Pomp at once responded.
With their united effort the dynamo was relocated and the lever wire connected. Then Barney operated the lever and it worked all right.
