"I haven't thrown up the sponge, by any means," was the answer. "But that's why Price wants to get rid of me." "But, man!" cried the other. "How perfectly absurd!" Montague fixed his glance upon him. "Would you advise me to stand for it?" he asked. "But, my dear fellow!" said Curtiss. "I've got some stock in that company myself."
CURTISS. And of the eternal muttony-chop in the morning. DOONE. It's dead goat as a rule, but go on, Mackesy. MACKESY. If a man's once taken that way nothing will hold him. Do you remember Benoit of your service, Doone? They transferred him to Tharanda when his time came, and he married a platelayer's daughter, or something of that kind. She was the only female about the place.
In the pre-war years, once the Wright Brothers had accomplished their task, America's chief accomplishment consisted in the development of the 'Flying Boat, alternatively named with characteristic American clumsiness, 'The Hydro-Aeroplane. In February of 1911, Glenn Curtiss attached a float to a machine similar to that with which he won the first Gordon-Bennett Air Contest and made his first flying boat experiment.
I'm going to bed if you begin squabbling. Thank Goodness, here's Anthony looking like a ghost. Enter ANTHONY, Indian Medical Staff, very white and tired. ANTHONY. 'Evening, Blayne. It's raining in sheets. Whiskey-peg, lao, Khitmatgar. The roads are something ghastly. CURTISS. How's Mingle? ANTHONY. Very bad, and more frightened. I handed him over to Fewton.

"But the other people have to take their chances," protested the girl; "if they choose to have anything to do with men like that." "You are not familiar with business," said the other, "and you don't appreciate the situation. Curtiss was elected a director he accepted a position of trust."
"I had trouble with those kids myself this afternoon," remarked Jack Curtiss with a scowl, as they wended their way toward a shed in the rear of Bill Bender's home, which had been fitted tip as a sort of clubroom. "What did they do to you?" incautiously inquired Sam Redding, a youth as big as the other two, but not so powerful. In fact he was used more or less as a tool by them.
Montague smiled to himself as he read this letter. He did not go with Curtiss. But the heat of the city was stifling, and the thought of the surf and the country was alluring, and he went up by way of the Sound one Friday night. He was invited to dinner at the Hegans'. Jim Hegan was there himself for the first occasion in three years. Mrs.

A. D. McCurdy, "Casey" Baldwin, and Augustus Post.
The chambers are, in the three opened by Mr. Curtiss, about 8 feet square, and from 4-1/2 to 5 feet high, each chamber having a passage-way several feet in length and 2 in width leading from the southern side and opening on the edge of the mound formed by covering the chamber and passage-way with earth.
"Jack Curtiss and Bill Bender are in her!" shouted Rob, "come on, scouts, we'll get after them while we can." With a shout the Boy Scouts ran for the boat and speedily pulled out to the Flying Fish.
