Chicken thieves!" "Oh, is it you, Eradicate?" asked the young inventor, with a laugh. "No, it isn't chicken thieves they were after bigger game this time." "Suffin happen?" asked the colored man.
For all he knew, that rather rough jolting of the craft while it was being removed from the hangar might have broken some wire on which the safety of his machine, and his life, depended. The excuse cannot be made that his mechanics had performed this all-important work of inspection, for their attention was centred on the daring "banking" evolutions of some audacious pilot in the aerodrome. Mr.
The men had had no time to carry the motor far, argued Phil. They had not gone to their boat, else they could hardly have made their way back to the hangar. They might of course have picked it up after they had been frightened away, but there had been hardly time for that. They had undoubtedly hidden it in the first place.

She stopped and watched them for a moment, when Hermia joined her and they walked toward the house together. "I'm awfully sorry, Olga " Hermia paused. "About what?" "Last night. How could I have known that the pergola was occupied!"
"Professor Hemmingwell and I were down at the far end of the hangar. The men had just left for the day and we were planning the work for tomorrow." "Then what happened?" demanded Connel. "Wait, don't answer yet!" He stopped himself and turned to a Space Marine standing nearby. "You! Can you work an audio recorder?" "Yes, sir," replied the Marine.
Larkin did not wait to learn what Yancey reckoned. He dashed toward the hangar, shouting orders as he ran. Major Cowan stepped from the hangar, barring the way. "Just a minute, Lieutenant! What is it you want?" "What do I want? I want a plane on the line quick!" "No! Lieutenant McGee took off before we knew what it was all about. It is madness.
