Although he didn't quite see the logic of the foregoing, Sam Redding gave a sage nod and agreed that his leader was right. "Yes, those kids need a good lesson from somebody," chimed in Bill Bender. "I think we had better be the 'somebodies' to give it to them," rejoined Jack Curtiss. "They are getting insufferable.
Those who may still believe that we Americans cannot build aircraft and that all the exploits we read so much about in the newspapers taking place on the other side are being done in foreign aircraft will be surprised to know that a large number of the big flying boats now in use in the English navy, harbour, and coast defence work are Curtiss machines, designed and built in this country by Americans, with American material and American engines.
"You impudent little whipper-snapper," roared Jack Curtiss, "if you weren't such a shrimp I'd lick you for that remark, but you're all beneath my notice. All I want to say to you is keep away from my orchard or I'll give you a trimming." "Suppose you start now," said Rob Blake quietly, "if you are so anxious to show what a scrapper you are."
The signature is typewritten, too," mused Rob. "What kind of a joke is this? I don't know, but I'll bet anything that Jack Curtiss is at the bottom of it." "Well," demanded the captain, "what is it, a bit of gammon? I'll keel-haul the man as did it if I can find him." "It looks like a hoax of some sort," admitted Rob, sorely puzzled; "but I can't for the life of me see the object of it.
They applied for their application blanks and walked over to a desk to fill them out. As they were hard at work at this, Jack Curtiss and his two chums entered the office. "You going into this, too?" asked the proprietor of the paper, Ephraim Parkhurst, as Jack loudly demanded two blanks. "Sure," responded Jack confidently, "and we are going to win it, too.
Design became standardised, though not perfected. The domination of the machine may best be expressed by contrasting the way in which machines came to be regarded as compared with the men who flew them: up to 1909, flying enthusiasts talked of Farman, of Bleriot, of Paulhan, Curtiss, and of other men; later, they began to talk of the Voisin, the Deperdussin, and even to the Fokker, the Avro, and the Bristol type.
The four-winged craft, pointed somewhat across the wind, went skimming over the waveless, then automatically headed into the wind, rose in level poise, soared gracefully for 150 feet, and landed softly on the water near the shore. Mr Curtiss asserted that he could have flown farther, but, being unused to the machine, imagined that the left wings had more resistance than the right.
"No," she answered, "I cannot say that I have." "If you have," he added, "of course there is no use in my talking about it." "I wish you would tell me just what happened between you and him," exclaimed the girl. "It was simply," said Montague, "that I found that Curtiss was doing, in a business way, something which I considered improper. Other people are doing it, of course he has that excuse."
Professor E.D. Campbell, in addition to the "History of the Chemical Laboratory of the University," has reported his investigations, largely in the chemical composition of steels, in eighteen papers. Professor William J. Hussey and Professor Ralph H. Curtiss have published respectively fourteen and seventeen papers, though many of them have been included in the 'publications' of the Observatory.
BLAYNE. Go home and get a fool of a girl to come out to what is it Thackeray says? 'the splendid palace of an Indian pro-consul. DOONE. Which reminds me. My quarters leak like a sieve. I had fever last night from sleeping in a swamp. And the worst of it is, one can't do anything to a roof till the Rains are over. CURTISS. What's wrong with you?
