I looked up and saw him steadily sweeping the distance with his binoculars; but, as Gates had said, the horizon in all directions was heavy, and in such weather our search, indeed, seemed next to useless. With the world a playground, how could we find this vagrant yacht. Then I let my eyes rest on the tinted east, marvelling at what a curiously beautiful, dangerously sweet old world this is.
He peered through the binoculars for some time, then announced: "It's the steam tug, Monarch, from San Pedro. I wonder what it can be doing out this way?" "Perhaps it was blown out of its course by the storm," suggested Jerry. "I'm sure we must have been." "Very likely," admitted Mr. De Vere.
I thought maybe it was a flight of meteors you'd come to see, and I knew the glasses would be handy, so I stopped for them. Take a look, Tom. It's an aeroplane; isn't it?" "Yes, and not moving very fast, either. They seem to be circling around here." The young inventor was peering through the binoculars, and, as soon as he had the mysterious craft in focus, he cried: "Look, Mr.
