The Buccaneers

Excerpt from The Buccaneers

The business of making and selling wire less motors was his, absolutely his. He had created it. It was the Child of his body, mind, and soul. Why Should he spare thieves who were trying to steal his patents, his customers, his expert mechan ics, personally trained by him? A virgin defending her honor fights no more desperately than did Thomas Tabb in attacking every man who cast even the eye of envy on his beloved business and the field it occupied. East, west, north, and south, the world over, the searchlight of his suspicion swept the horizon, and at the first Sign of a possible competitor all the trained forces of his great organization instantly took the field. If war is hell, Thomas Tabb was ready to make of busi ness a duplication of the bottommost pit.
