The American machine was equipped with a tremendously powerful motor, and this, combined with its great wing spread, enabled it to climb with great rapidity, in spite of the heavy load it was carrying. The Germans had not counted on this, and the result was that they miscalculated their distances, passing beneath the American flyer instead of above it, as they had intended.
But ahead on this new level more such dots flocked, moving fast to close in on the flyer. "A straight ram course," Hume muttered, more to himself than Vye. Again the flyer drove forward in a rising thrust of speed. Then the smooth purr of the propulsion unit faltered, broke into protesting coughs.
It is graceful in outline, and from the fact that it closely approaches the form of the natural flyer, seems to be best adapted as a type, compared with the biplane. THE COMMON FLY. So many birds have been cited in support of the various flying theories that the house fly, as an example has been disregarded.
He was bright and distinctly wise to his job. By a little scouting I found out when the last competing representative was to call and speak his little piece. "The next day I took a 'flyer, that is, called without making an appointment. I arranged to arrive at my man's room in the afternoon when his recitations were over.
Of course, I shall not give in to them. It is Amy Colgate or no one." He looked very rueful despite this firm and dauntless speech. Mr. Bingle stared at the fire for a few minutes, his lips pursed in an expression that spoke of calculation. "I have been thinking, Dick," he said at last; "thinking very seriously of taking a little flyer in the er theatrical business."
The sketch which Jim had drawn showed the outline of the Hadley space flyer from which he had been taken. When the beetles had examined the sketch, one of them stepped to an instrument board in the center of the ship and made an adjustment. Then he pointed with one of his lower arms.
"Kaydessa leads the Reds into a trap we have set beyond the peaks four of them ride with her. How many now remain in the ship near the settlement?" "There are at least two in the flyer, perhaps eight more in the ship. But there is no getting at them in there." "No?" Travis laughed softly, shifted the weapon on his arm.
In aerial war the stronger side, even supposing it destroyed the main battle fleet of the weaker, had then either to patrol and watch or destroy every possible point at which he might produce another and perhaps a novel and more deadly form of flyer. It meant darkening his air with airships. It meant building them by the thousand and making aeronauts by the hundred thousand.
Each flyer coveted the honor of being the first one to see the coastline of Central America, the resting-place of Panama. Paul, with the binoculars to his eyes, was the one to win. It was just exactly 11:25 when he shouted in true mariner's style: "Land ho, my hearties!" Taking the glass, one by one his comrades gladly echoed the announcement. But suddenly Bob's face turned chalky.
"What in the name o' thunder is the old man's notion of goin' to the front with a picnic party and makin' a night run of it, at that, d'ye reckon?" "The Lord only knows. Easy around this curve you're coming to; it isn't set up yet." The 1012 was a fast eight-wheeler from the main line, and though the grade was a rising four per cent, the big flyer was making light work of her one-car train.
