Its lines suggested speed as well as mobility, and he began to doubt if they could have escaped with that craft trailing them. Well, what would they do now? The alien flyer could not land here, not without coming down flat upon the flitter. Maybe it would cruise overhead as a warning threat until the city dwellers were able to reach the Terrans in some other manner.
He introduced his companions to Thompson, who told them Will Corwin was fit and well, and had become quite famous as a flyer. Thompson promised to dine at their mess that evening. He did so, and after dinner sat and chatted about flying in general, telling the Brighton boys many things strange to them about the development of the flying service since the beginning of the war.
Our road was one of the direct connections of the "Overland Route," west to San Francisco, and twice a day we had a train, that in those days was called a flyer. Now it would be in a class with the first class freights. The west bound train passed my station at eight in the morning, and the east bound at seven-thirty in the evening.
And long before he reached the street from this warren they could pick him up. Also, in spite of all the precautions he had taken to memorize their way here, he was not sure he could find his path back to the flyer, even if he were free to go. Giving in, he went after the officer.
"Well," I answered, "if you insist upon it I will state it. When I saw you making your lofty flights, I thought if you could only have a few feathers plucked from the wings of your imagination and placed in the tail of your judgment, you would make a grand flyer." The next flight was made with greater caution. The balance of the year at Waukesha was given to the ordinary demands of the work.
Ned called. "See if we can't go down a bit," was Tom's answer. "I don't like this. It may be calmer below. We're up too high as it is." He tried to throw over the lever controlling the deflecting rudder, which would send the Flyer down, but he could not move it. "Give me a hand!" he called to Ned, but even the strength of the two lads was not sufficient to shift it. "Call Koku!" gasped Tom.
"Riders two ... four ... five.... Also something else in the air." Menlik jerked back and grabbed at Nolan's arm, dragging him down by the weight of his body. "The flyer! Come back back!" He was still pulling at Nolan, prodding at Travis with one foot, and the Apaches stared at him with amazement.
If the swift misses the twig, or it fails to yield to her the first time, she tries again and again, each time making a wider circuit, as if to tame and train her steed a little and bring him up more squarely to the mark next time. The swift is a stiff flyer: there appear to be no joints in her wings; she suggests something made of wires or of steel.
"I think we'd better quit, Ross, before we hurt each other," suggested the French flyer cravenly. "This flight business of ours won't stand such delays as this. We can have this out when we land in Panama." "No, we can't have it out in Panama!" cried Paul. "Stand up if you're a man and settle this thing right now. Watch out; I'm coming!"
No challenge. Under us, occasional local cars swept by; but up here we were clear of traffic. Elza prepared our lunch, in the little electric galley forward of the observation pit. The Great London-East Indies Mail Flyer crossed us, coming along this same level. It was headed toward the Pole from the British Isles. Its pilot challenged us before it had come up over the horizon. A crusty fellow.
