"When my gyroscope worked fairly well, I presume Lieutenant Larson was professionally jealous. At any rate he, left me, and I am glad of it." "But he was around our workshop just before we made this last flight!" insisted Jack. "He came in pretending he had left some of his important drawings behind when he went away, but I noticed that he hung around the airship a good bit.
Bless my ink bottle, but we're going to have some adventures again!" "It seems to me that is about all Tom does have adventures that and invent flying machines," said Mr. Swift with a smile, as his son and their visitor left the shop. Then he once more bent over his gyroscope model, while Tom and Mr. Damon hurried in to write the letter to the African missionary.
Swift was excitedly questioning Garret Jackson concerning the robbery and making an examination of the electrical shop to discover what was missing. "They've taken some parts of my gyroscope!" he exclaimed, "and some valuable tools and papers, as well as some unfinished work that will be difficult to replace." "Much of a loss?" asked Mr. Sharp with a business-like air.
The audience dispersed at last, discussing how far they would enjoy crossing an abyss on a wire cable. "Suppose the gyroscope stopped!" Few of them anticipated a tithe of what the Brennan mono-rail would do for their railway securities and the face of the world. In a few, years they realised better.
If for any reason the space ship listed in one direction or the other, the inner globe, while it rose and fell naturally, remained upright, its floor always level so that, the gyroscope controlling the whole, the central, levitating, ray would always, must always, as it proved, point downward. Try as they might, the partners could not see how the Three manipulated the ray.
I saw him looking at, and running the gyroscope, and I'm sure he did something to it that caused it to fail to work, and so wrecked us." "You should not say such things," chided Mr. Vardon. "Well, I believe it's true," insisted Jack. "And you found something wrong with the gyroscope, when you took it from the airship; didn't you?" "Yes, but that may have occurred in the wreck."
His nearest competitor made a poorer record by several hours, so Dick's performance stood. And that, really, is all there is to tell of this story, except to add that by the confession of Larson, later it was learned that he had tampered with Mr. Vardon's gyroscope, as had been suspected.
"Me say him machine got to come up him come up!" said the giant, smiling in happy fashion, when, after they had all gulped down great mouthfuls of the precious oxygen, they were talking of their experience. "Yes, you certainly did it," said Tom, and due credit was given to Koku. "Never again will I travel without a gyroscope," declared Tom. "I'm almost ready to go back and have one installed now."
'Well, "TOVES" are something like badgers they're something like lizards and they're something like corkscrews. 'They must be very curious looking creatures. 'They are that, said Humpty Dumpty: 'also they make their nests under sun-dials also they live on cheese. 'And what's the "GYRE" and to "GIMBLE"? 'To "GYRE" is to go round and round like a gyroscope.
"Why should you take all the risks when it isn't your own country, especially?" asked Dick, almost sobbing. "I've got a right to go! And, besides, you may need me." That was true enough, as Harry realized. Moreover, he had been investigating the Bleriot, and he discovered that it was one of the new safety type, with a gyroscope device to insure stability.
