Roy and Dean Coloney, with their guide Tongla, leave their father's indigo plantation to visit the wonderful ruins of an ancient city.
A glance located the detector mechanism, a set of short-wave coils and amplifiers, and a brief study made plain to him the principles underlying the directional loop finders and the controls which guided the flying shell along the path of the tracer ray.
They struck a whole row of troubles about this time, too stripping a gear, losing a front wheel on the main street and winding up by fracturing the whole transmission into finders.
