"Because those are the Fogers," replied Tom. "They have followed us Andy and his father! Andy Foger here!" gasped Ned. Tom nodded grimly. A few minutes later the sleds had come to a halt not far from our friends, and Andy, followed by his father, leaped off his conveyance. The two were clad in heavy fur garments. "Ha, Tom Swift! You didn't get here much ahead of us!" exulted the bully.
Whitford's staff, who needed it more than Tom did. There was no difficulty about convicting the prisoners, including the Fogers, for Tom's wizard camera had taken pictures of the chase and capture, and the men were easily identified. Mr. Period was quite delighted with the roll of films that Tom gave him.
I think the men will not object," and with a greedy look in his black eyes the Mexican contractor hastened to tell his men of the change of plans. Tom took another look at the approaching Fogers. Their carts were slowly crawling up the trail, and as Tom could plainly see them, he made no doubt but that his caravan was also observed by Andy and his father.
I admit I'm at the end of my rope. This last clew has failed. The Fogers seem to be innocent of wrong doing. We need your help, Tom." "But I don't see how I can help you." "Of course you can! You're an expert with airships. The smugglers are using airships, of that I'm sure. You tell me you have just perfected a noiseless aircraft. That will be just the thing.
But they turned the tables by capturing the real burglars, and defeating the mean plans of the Fogers. Not satisfied with having mastered the air Tom and his father turned their attention to the water. Mr. Swift perfected a new type of craft, and in the fourth book of the series, called "Tom Swift and His Submarine," you may read how he went after a sunken treasure.
I don't take much stock in that theory, though it may be true." "Just think of the Fogers," went on Tom. "Mr. Foger has lost all his money, he lives in a town near the Canadian border, it is almost certain that smuggled goods have been shipped here. Mr. Foger has a deserted house here, and see the connection?" "By Jove, Tom, I believe you're right!" cried his chum.
They were almost defeated in their purpose by the actions of Andy Foger and his father, who in an under-hand manner, got possession of a valuable map, showing the location of the gold, and made a copy of the drawing. Then, when Tom and his friends set off in the Red Cloud, as related in "Tom Swift in the Caves of Ice," the Fogers, in another airship, did likewise.
He made private inquiries at the hotel mentioned in Pete's telegram, but learned that the Fogers had gone on. "Perhaps I'm worrying too much," thought Tom. But an event that occurred a few nights later, when they were speeding across the continent showed him that there was need of great precaution.
For one moment Tom had a thought of working the black knob, and flooding the channel, but he could not doom even the head-hunters, much less the Fogers and Delazes, to such a death as that would mean. On ran Tom and his companions, but now they could glance back and see the foremost of the other crowd dipping down into the dry channel. "The steps!
"We'll guard it well, now," decided Tom, and later that day they moved some supplies near the hole, and for a shelter built an igloo, Eskimo fashion, in which work Abe had had some experience. Then they moved the airship to another ice cave, nearer their "mine" as they called it, and prepared to stand guard. But there seemed to be no need, for the following day there was no trace of the Fogers.
