It was at that time that the seal of secrecy was lifted from the lips
of his agents and higher emissaries, and those that chose revealed
much of the mystery of Goliah's organization and methods. His
destroying angels, however, remained for ever dumb. Who the men were
who went forth to the high places and killed at his bidding will be
unknown to the end of time--for kill they did, by means of that very
subtle and then-mysterious force that Goliah had discovered and named
"Energon."
But at that time Energon, the little giant that was destined to do
the work of the world, was unknown and undreamed of. Only Goliah
knew, and he kept his secret well. Even his agents, who were armed
with it, and who, in the case of the yacht Energon, destroyed a
mighty fleet of war-ships by exploding their magazines, knew not what
the subtle and potent force was, nor how it was manufactured. They
knew only one of its many uses, and in that one use they had been
instructed by Goliah. It is now well known that radium, and radiyte,
and radiosole, and all the other compounds, were by-products of the
manufacture of Energon by Goliah from the sunlight; but at that time
nobody knew what Energon was, and Goliah continued to awe and rule
the world.
