For certainly he knew nothing about Agriculture, or Angling, Archery, Architecture, Art, Astronomy, Athletics, Automobiling, or Aviation. "And so I don't see how I'll ever be a merit-badger," he told Mr. Perkins wistfully, when he had gone through the list of the A's.
Without the least doubt he would have charged Juliet to wake him to go to battle, and would never have forgiven her for confounding the lark and the nightingale. On his return to the aviation camp, in the absence of his own longed-for victories, he took pleasure in describing those of others. He knew nothing of rivalry or envy.
The challenge rang sharply on the night air, outside a small gate in the barricade of the Monck Aviation Grounds. "Liberty!" answered Gabriel, pausing as he gave the password. "All right, come on," said a vague figure at the gate. The little group approached. The gate opened. Silently they entered the enclosure. Another man stepped from a hangar.
The progress of aviation would make the rear of each front, and very far in rear, extremely dangerous, and the progress of chemistry would permit the use of gas on zones of such an extent as cannot be imagined. "Making gas is naturally rapidly done, because all the manufacturers of chemical product still so numerous in Germany can be requisitioned, but to make airplanes is much slower.
Besides, there were supplies and equipment to be picked up and charts to be obtained, and the Sky Wagon needed to have the tank topped off, since they couldn't very well carry aviation gas to the island. Reluctantly, Rick asked, "Anyone want to see anything else?" "Not me," Hobart Zircon said flatly. "I want to get to Charlotte Amalie so we can get started back.
It never entered the head of a swallow to criticize its own methods; and if Mozart could not write a tune wrong, that was not because he had first tested his idea at every point, but because he was Mozart. Yet no one ever thought of going to a swallow for lessons in aviation; or, rather, Dædalus did, and we all know what came of it. That is my point.
"I'll just go in and change these togs," said Mary, as she alighted and looked at her leather costume. "No, don't," advised Tom. "You look swell in em. Keep 'em on. They're yours, and you'll need 'em when we go up again. Here comes the auto. I'll take you right home in it. Keep the aviation suit on. "I wonder what Mr. Damon could have wanted," remarked Tom, as he drove Mary along the country road.
He agreed to accompany Tom to the aviation park when it was time for the race, and also to be a passenger in the ten-thousand-dollar contest. "It must be perfectly wonderful to fly through the air," said Miss Nestor one day, when Tom and Mr. Damon had the Humming-Bird out on the testing ground, trying the engine, which had been keyed up to a higher pitch of speed.
There is, however, one serious drawback to the use of the monoplane: it is far more dangerous to the pilot than is the biplane. Most of the fatal accidents in aviation have been caused through mishaps to monoplanes or their engines, and chiefly for this reason the biplane has to a large extent supplanted the monoplane in warfare.
Pinto was looking at the stage, biting his lips thoughtfully. "I'll tell you what I want," he said. "I am not very keenly interested in aviation, but it may be necessary that I should return to Portugal in a great hurry. It is no news to you that we Portuguese are generally in the throes of some revolution or other." "So I understand," said Cartwright, with a twinkle in his eye.
