Releasing him at length from the strain, Whispering Smith begged of the staring maid-servant the recipe for the biscuit. When she came back with it he sat all alone, pouring catsup over his griddle-cakes in an abstracted manner, and it so flurried her that she had to go out again to ask whether the gasolene went into the dough or under it.
At last after much labor the great undertaking was done. "The Monarch has never been tested," said the professor, "but I know it will sail. I have made many small models and they worked perfectly." Several busy hours were spent. Much more machinery was put in the ship, the food lockers were stored with supplies, the gasolene tanks filled, and the supply of fur clothing increased.
"Looks like he's going ter try," was the answer as the boys trundled the Golden Eagle out of her stable. And this was indeed the lad's intention. It was the work of a minute to test the gasolene tank and rapidly see that the engine was in running order. "How can we tell when we strike Westbury?" asked Frank, as he and his brother clambered into the machine.
"It's a small gasolene boat, and there are several men in her! She's having a hard time." "Can we rescue them?" asked Mr. Damon. "If anybody can, Tom Swift will," was Ned's reply. Then came a whistle from the speaking tube, that led to the pilot house. "What is it?" asked Ned, putting the tube to his ear.
But when Terabon searched along the slough for Nelia's boat he did not find it, and to his amazed anger he found that the gasolene boat in which he had arrived was also gone, as well as his own skiff and all his outfit. "Darn this river!" he choked. "But that's a great story I sent of the killing of Palura!"
The officers are instructed that, whenever they can travel by railway without detriment to the interests of the service, they are expected to do so, for the trains are in operation to within a few miles of the front and with astonishing regularity, whereas tires and gasolene cost money.
Brown, with the two children walked into town. As they reached the middle of the village, near a public square, they heard the sound of music and saw a crowd of people around a wagon lighted by a gasolene torch, such as is used in a circus at night. "Oh, it's a medicine show!" cried Mrs.
About nine o'clock his friend Dave Torrence came in, and after Uncle Peter had barked for him a couple of times Dave decided that the trouble was information of the lungs and he suggested that Uncle Peter should tie a rubber band around his chest and rub his shoulder blades with gasolene.
Lieutenant Wilson made a quick recovery, and, in spite of the mishap, still kept up his interest in aviation, winning much fame for himself. The army officers, who came to attend the injured ones, brought Dick some supplies and gasolene. Uncle Ezra begged that some part of his wrecked airship be saved, but it was impossible.
There remained only the task of filling their hulls with one thousand eight hundred gallons of gasolene. Early in the morning of May 5th, while mechanics were pumping gasolene into the tanks of the NC-1, a spark from an electric pump fell into a pool of gasolene and set fire to her whole right side. In a moment the heavily "doped" linen wings, with seasoned spruce spars, were a mass of hot flame.
