That was rather funny, too, his doing that. I wonder why he did." Galusha reflected a moment. Then he said: "I shouldn't be greatly surprised if your new position at the radio station may be the cause, Captain Hallett is ah not unmindful of success in business. Miss Mar ah that is, Miss Phipps says he is a very shrewd business man.
He fell to musing about his father waiting so many miles away for news of the discovery that was to rehabilitate his fortunes and place the radio telephone in the list of practical inventions that have created an epoch in the world's history. "Poor old dad," he thought "After all, he's really having the most trying part of this thing.
"... Can't seem to find out anything about what's going on at Pelton's store," Mongery continued. "Telephone and radio communication seems to be broken, and, although there is continuous firing going on inside the building, the city police, who have a cordon completely around it, say that the situation in the store is well in hand.
That was about the extent of the information that the Kingston amateur was able to communicate to them, except that he had been an interested listener-in to much of the code conversations between the would-be rescuers and the two very strange radio contestants. He, however, promised to make further inquiries and to call them again if he learned anything that might be of interest to them.
Bryan doesn't know that unless he talks by code every radio on sixteen ships can read every message he sends to these waters. And the State Department saying it could not understand the Hyranga giving up her cargo is a damn silly lie. No one is so foolish as to think the Chester and Tacomah let her land those arms under their guns unless they had been told to submit to it.
But we'll have to go now," he said, as he rose to his feet, while Joe followed his example. "Good afternoon. And don't forget what I said. I feel you'll get your money or you'll get your mortgage." The radio boys were at Bob's house on the dot, all but Jimmy, who to his great disgust had to do some work for his father, and so could not come.
"We'll be there, so there's no use of your saying any more about it," said Bob, in a voice of finality. "How about it, fellows?" All the radio boys were of the same mind, so Larry was forced to give in. "But if you're going to get back to Clintonia in time to hear my act at seven o'clock, you'll have to leave pretty soon," he said. "I'm not going to detain you here any longer."
All the offworlders other than your party are gone. I'm sending a ship down now to pick you up. As soon as that ship lifts I am going to drop the first bombs. Now tell me where you are so they can come for you." "Don't threaten me, Krafft!" Brion shook his fist at the radio in an excess of anger. "You're a killer and a world destroyer don't try to make yourself out as anything else.
Individually they weren't too good, but when I lined them up chronologically and plotted them on a map they took the form of a hot report. At 3:40P.M. a woman at Unionville, Virginia, had reported a "very shiny object" at high altitude. At 4:20P.M. the operators of the CAA radio facility at Gordonsville, Virginia, had reported that they saw a "round, shiny object."
Then I'd wait for a chance to put the radio behind a cushion, or in the crack of an armchair, or somewhere like that. I didn't know exactly what I could do, but I knew if we could get aboard there would be some way of leaving the radio behind." The pram had vanished around the turn of the cove. The speedboat would come into sight any moment now. "All right," Rick admitted.
