Then came the visit of the white men, including Andre, whose strange message the adventurers had found. He was driven, with his companions, from the land. Then the Esquimaux of Dirola's tribe had been attacked by others living farther south. A great battle had been fought and the queen and others were taken prisoners. Dirola had been held captive until the advent of the Monarch.
Soon they found themselves able to enter the cave the boys, Bill, Tom and Dirola had made, through the opening from which they had tumbled. "Good-bye," called Dirola to them, as they passed out of her sight. "Good-bye," all called back softly, from the roof of the cavern. It was the last they were to see of their kind friend.
"We've landed sure enough," remarked the professor, "but I'm afraid we are not at the north pole. However, in view of all that has happened, I suppose we had better stop here for a while. Some of the machinery is wrecked by the overturning of the ship, but I guess we can fix it. I only wish I knew where the boys and the two men were." "Don't forget Dirola," spoke up Andy.
Off went the sled at a swift pace, the animals tugging at their harness. Not a native was in sight save the one driving the sled. They were all probably at the feast Dirola had prepared in celebration of her home-coming. "This is the first sled ride we've had when we were not tied on like so much cordwood," observed Andy. "Now we have a chance to observe the scenery."
On board the Monarch Washington and Professor Henderson were tossed to the ceiling again. Then the ship righted herself. "De boys! De boys!" cried Washington, suddenly thinking of them. "Dey hab falled off!" "Great Scott! So they have!" exclaimed the inventor. "That is, unless they grabbed something as we went over!" "An de Sesquitomexico woman, too!" cried the colored man, meaning Dirola.
The crew and owner of the Monarch glanced ahead. They saw, about a quarter of a mile in advance, their airship, resting on an icy ledge. "If we can only get there first!" cried the professor. "You forget the leak in the gas bag," spoke up Andy. "That will have to be mended before we can escape." "With quick work we can do it!" exclaimed the inventor. "Hurry on, Dirola!" Dirola needed no urging.
