Well, maybe we're on the wrong track, after all. But I'm going to keep my eyes open. I don't see what Andy wants with an airship platform on the roof of his house. The ground is good enough to start from and land on." "I should think so, too. But then Andy always did like to show off, and do things different from anybody else. Maybe it's that way now." "Perhaps," agreed Tom.
"I had a glimpse of it, for a moment; then it disappeared in the clouds." "We must get our ambulances ashore," said Jones. "No hurry, sir; plenty of time," asserted the captain. "I think I saw the airship floating north, so it isn't likely to bother us again just now." "What place is north of us?" inquired the girl, trembling a little in spite of her efforts at control.
Or, I would sell you some stock in my woolen mill. That would pay you four per cent, at least." "But my airship is going to go," declared the young millionaire. "It's on the same model as one I've ridden in, and it's going to go. We're sure of it; aren't we, Mr. Vardon?" "Oh, it will GO all right," declared the aviator. "I'm sure of that. But I don't guarantee that you'll win the prize money."
If self-interest, its basic principle, should give way to social interest; if the monopoly of social power should be broken and the power transferred to the general will of the community; if the community should relegate its administration to representatives, but should prevent these by some social device from ever usurping the power entrusted to them, then something new something as different from civilization as the airship from the horse-cart would have begun to establish itself.
Consequently the aerial craft, whether it be a dirigible airship, or an aeroplane, can only be regarded from the military point of view. Despite the achievements which have been recorded by human endeavour in the field of aerial travel, the balloon per se has by no means been superseded. It still remains an invaluable adjunct to the fighting machine.
"Tried to damage the airship, eh?" asked Mr. Sharp. "I wish I'd caught them at it; the scoundrels! But perhaps you handled them as well as I could have done." "I guess so," assented Tom. "I must see if they did cut any of the wires." But the young inventor and his chum had acted too quickly, and it was found that nothing, had been done to the Red Cloud.
Hurry out. The airship is just outside!" He fired one shot through the roof of the hut, so that the flash would reveal to him whether or not the two missionaries were in the place. He saw two forms rise up in front of him, and knew that they were the white captives he had observed daring the former attack. "Oh, what is it?" he heard the woman ask. "A rescue!
Andy is acting very strangely lately. We can't locate him, nor find out where he is building his airship. That's what I want to know; but Mr. Damon and I, after a lot of trouble, only found his aeroplane shed empty." "And you want to find out where Andy Foger is building his aeroplane which he has entered in the big race?" asked Miss Nestor. "That's what I'd like to know," declared Tom earnestly.
"Somewhere over Central Austria," replied Hal, not taking his eyes from ahead. "I would rather that it were over Serbia, Montenegro or Greece," said the fourth occupant of the airship, Colonel Harry Anderson of His British Majesty's service. "I'm beginning to get a little cramped up here. I'd like to stretch my legs a bit."
They were all excited about seeing our airship. It seems they were trying to warn the Drifter." "To warn the Drifter?" repeated Dave somewhat puzzled. "Yes." "Why, what for?" "To keep away from the American shore. Somehow, they had found out that the revenue officers were at Anseton. They knew, too, that the Interstate people had an airship out after them.
