A muffled roar outside interrupted his musings, and running out on the platform again he found Atterbury attaching the cord of the aluminum ribbon, which the rocket had carried up and over the antennæ, to one of the brush bars of the alternator. "Nearly ready, sir," he said. "We'd best lock the storm bolts to hold her down in case we have to crowd on the power.
Sharp labored on the airship, with Mr. Jackson to help them. The motor, with its twenty cylinders, was installed, and the big aluminum holder fastened to the frame of the planes.

"No, no, no, no," cried Hawkins, impatiently. "I don't mean the human body, Griggs; I " "I'm glad to hear it," I said. "Don't you go to inventing an aluminum man, Hawkins.
The boys who occupied seats on the light aluminum form under the sixty-foot wings glimpsed the Gulf of Mexico in the distance, while directly their feet ran the crooked streets of the French Quarter.
"You attend to the bow line, and I'll go to the stern," and, going over to the gas generator, Mr. Sharp started it so as to force more vapor into the red aluminum container. This had the effect of rendering the airship more buoyant, and it tugged and strained harder than ever at the ropes. "Good-by, Tom," called Mr. Swift, reaching up to shake hands with his son.
