I went to work patiently and put in the five perpendicular ones besides the horizontal one, which, like the others, had frizzled up and appeared to melt away.

With another hour's labor I got in the five, when a rude motion raised them all again and I began over.

Just at one o'clock I had got them all in again.

I attempted then to put the diaphragm back into its place.

The sealing-wax was not dry, and with a little jar I sent the wires all agog.
