"Something went wrong overhead; the operator got rattled orsomebody was late in his duties and fouled the machinery; anyhow, the converter dumped too soon. Men were working directlyunderneath, father among the rest. Being so young, I had no ideaof what it all meant at the time--but the memory stuck. I saw himgo down under a stream of liquid steel--" Lorelei's horrified exclamation went unnoticed; Lilas's voice wasshrill.
"Yes. He was blotted out, right there before my eyes, in aninstant. In the... time it takes to snap your finger, he--and theothers--were gone, changed into smoke, into absolute nothingness. One moment he was whole, alive, flesh and bone, the next he didn'texist; tons of boiling metal ran over the spot. Nothing in theworld was ever so horrible. You've never seen liquid steel norfelt the awful breath of it, have you? There wasn't even afuneral. Twelve men, twelve pinches of ashes, were lost somewhere, swallowed up in that mass--nothing more. There was no insurance, and nobody took the blame.
