In the distance he could make out Anseton, and nearer still, about a mile distant, the main shore. The shore he was on terminated in a ridge of rocks that ran far out into the water. Dave wondered if the exploring spirit had moved Hiram to attempt an entire circle about the island. "He went away in swimming trim," thought Dave, "so that may be so.
"Yesterday morning." Dave asked a score of questions. The moving picture man saw that Dave had some important motive in his inquiries. He did not ask what it was, and was patient and careful in his replies. Dave left Mr. Alden feeling that he had learned a good deal. The presence of Jerry Dawson in Anseton, and that, too, with a Chinaman, verified many of the theories of the young aviator.
Price has advised me to get the Monarch II over to the Canadian side of the lake to night!" "Which you are going to do, Dave?" "Right away." Dave, while in Anseton, had made some necessary inquiries as to the location of Brantford. He had also got a very good idea of Big Moose Woods. His arrangements with the revenue officer had been precise.
"'We're going to try to," replied Dave, "but first we must get word of all this to Mr. Price." The Monarch II had mounted aloft while they were conversing. Dave started the machine in a direction opposite to that in which they had been going. Hiram noted this. "Are you going back to Desert Island?" he asked. "First, yes. Then I shall skiff over to Anseton and report to Mr.
A brief explanation was made to the officer, and a man hired to watch the Drifter until they returned. Then Dave and Hiram hurried to the hotel in Anseton where Mr. Price made his headquarters. The revenue officer was found. He listened to the story of the two young aviators in amazement and admiration. Then he reported results of his own efforts.
Then he made out the little skiff he had bought that morning making its way in and out among other craft between the island, and the mainland. "What's the news, Dave?" inquired Hiram, as they gained the camp after securing the skiff where it could not be easily seen or found. "The best ever," reported Dave cheerily. "Tell me about it, won't you?" "Well, I saw Mr. Price." "Is he here at Anseton?"
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.
The night was ideal for a secret sky voyage. A slight mist hung over the ground, but at a height of five hundred feet the air was perfectly clear. There was bright starlight, and against the radiance they could make out flying birds quite a distance away. Dave took a route across the lake diagonally from Anseton. They skirted the other shore for about ten miles. Then they recrossed the lake.
"I'd like to do something to help on this trip of ours, you know." "You've done a good deal this time, I can tell you that," declared Dave. "I can manage all my plans finely, now." They pulled the boat into the shelter of some rocks. Then they returned to the rocky hollow. A good breakfast was in order. Dave announced the importance of his getting to Anseton at once.
The boys had remained long enough at Anseton to have some men go with them and locate the hidden sections of the Monarch II, and arrange to have them shipped by rail back to the factory.
