Somehow Bess had managed to distance the big car and had swung to second place. Cora thought she had her machine going at full speed, but either it had not "warmed up" yet, or she was not properly feeding the gasolene, and had not correctly adjusted the sparking device.
"What do you want of gasolene?" "To complete the trip," cried Dick. "Ours is all gone! A gallon would do." "Then, by hickory, you shall have it!" suddenly cried Mr. Larabee. "Where can you get it?" demanded Dick. "There isn't a drop aboard! "Oh, yes there is!" his uncle answered. "Here it is," and he brought from his room a square, gallon can.
Get 'em over here in the gasolene gig and we'll do the rest!" laughed Bud, though he was in anything but a laughing mood, His mind was grimly set on getting back his cattle, and in punishing the evil gang of rustlers that was dominating that section of the "cow country," as ranch localities are sometimes called. Immediately on hanging up the receiver, Bud Merkel started in on a busy time.
Brown had cooked their first meal on the gasolene stove in the little kitchen and dining room combined, and it was now ready to serve. Bunny clambered in by way of the front seat and took his place at the little table. "I think we had better stop beside the road while we eat," said Mr. Brown. "This automobile is all right for traveling, but the roads are so rough here that I may spill my tea.
"She may catch fire from the gasolene," said Dick, in a tense voice. "We ought to hurry all we can." "I could go down faster," said Mr. Vardon, "by starting up the motor. But I don't like to until I see what sort of landing ground we'll have." "No, it's wiser to go a bit slowly," agreed Lieutenant McBride. "We must save ourselves in order to save them if possible. It's a terrible accident!"
What is that water dripping from the back part of the airship?" "Water?" exclaimed Tom. "No water is dripping from there." "Come and look," advised Mr. Damon. The young inventor raced back with him. He saw a thin, white stream trickling down from the lower part of the craft. Tom sniffed the air suspiciously. "Gasolene! It's gasolene!" he cried. "We must have a leak in the supply tanks!"
Frank, snugly out of the nipping wind in the shelter of the gasolene drums, was silent for several minutes musing over the adventurous voyage on which they were setting out. Thus he had not noticed a change coming over Harry and Billy. Suddenly a groan fell on his ear. Startled, the boy looked round. On the edge of the hatch sat Billy and beside him, his head sunk in his hands, was Harry.
The automobile industry was fast forging to the front when Tom came back from his trip under water, and naturally he turned his attention to that. But he made an electric car instead of one that was operated by gasolene, and it proved to be the speediest car on the road. The details of Tom Swift and his wireless message will be found in the book of that title.
"Yes, but sometimes it is easier to pick up messages than it is to send them. However, I will keep on trying." Putting into operation the plan he had decided on for saving their supply of gasolene, Tom sent out his messages the remainder of the day, at the intervals agreed upon.
Myrick, ever ready for emergencies in tennis, called for gasolene, which was forthcoming speedily, and, while the Chief Executive of the United States interviewed men on the destiny of nations, the people of Washington watched nearly 200 barrels of gasolene flare up over the surface of the court. The desired result was attained and at 2 o'clock President Harding personally called play.
