Tom thought this was some new touch of the "free-and-easy" on Mister Goggins's part, and, losing all command of himself, he jumped from his chair, and with a vigorous kick gave Mister Goggins such a lively impression of his desire that he should leave the room, that Mister Goggins went head foremost down the stairs, pitching his whole weight upon Dick Dawson and Edward O'Connor, who were ascending the dark stairs, and to whom all his bows had been addressed.
Farmer Goggins's place was a large one, and as they reached the orchard which surrounded the house the boys saw that a big barn at the rear of the dwelling-house was in flames and that two smaller structures had already gone. Men and boys were leading out horses and driving cows from adjoining sheds. "The whole place is going!" the boys heard a man say as they drove up. And indeed it looked so.
"I've a fine dish of lobscouse, a raisin pie and some cider from Farmer Goggins's press all ready for you. Come in come in."
"Big fire Goggins's farm Mineola fire department bust up hurry," cried Frank all in a breath. "All right, we'll be on the job in ten minutes," cried the voice, and in a short time the big doors of the fire-house were flung open and lights switched on. The Westbury fire-engine was the cause of just pride to its operators.
However, Farmer Goggins's directions turned out to be quite correct and the aeroplane landed perfectly in a big field, as smooth as a board, only a few minutes after she had left the scene of the fire.
The glare of the flames spread redly on the sky and illuminated the low hanging clouds till they glowed like red-hot coals. It was evidently a fierce blaze. "It's Farmer Goggins's place!" announced Bluewater Bill as he noted the direction of the glow. "That's just beyond the aviation grounds," cried Harry.
And with these words he kept backing towards Tom, making these nether demonstrations of civility, till Tom could plainly see the seams in the back of Mr. Goggins's pantaloons.
