Craig had jumped from the car, and together the two went into the hangar, while I followed. They talked in low tones, but as nearly as I could make out Kennedy was hiring a hydro-aeroplane for to- morrow with as much nonchalance as if it had been a taxicab. As Kennedy and his acquaintance, Sprague, came to terms, my eye fell on a peculiar gun set up in a corner.
"This is the hydro-aeroplane that we flew in, Ethel Brown and I." "These are different buildings on the grounds I recognize them. This is a splendid present," complimented Katharine. "It was heaps of fun making it. Did you notice this picture of Mother's and Grandfather's class on Recognition Day? See, there's Mother herself. She happened to be in the right spot when the photographer snapped."
You all saw a number of large, heavy boxes lowered into the hold before we sailed. I know you did, because you asked me what they contained and commented upon the large letter 'H' which was painted upon each box. These boxes contain the various parts of a hydro-aeroplane.
It was soon evident that the machine was badly crippled, for it came on downward like a feather floating in the still air. Only a few minutes elapsed until it had settled on the water. "Hydro-aeroplane," announced Commander McClure as he stood in the conning tower observing the wounded airship.
"Not on my account, I, am glad to say, Mr. King," replied Dave. "There is some trouble, though, for all hands around. It's about the stolen aero-hydroplane, or hydro-aeroplane, they haven't just settled on the exact name." "The Drifter?" "Yes, sir." "I read about that strange case. I suppose it puts you back in your arrangements at the meet here?" "Not only that, Mr.
"Now I've seen the hydro-aeroplane, I shan't eat or sleep till I've been up in it." Carleton looked at his host. "You know, at worst she could only get a wetting if I kept over the sea," he said. "And very likely the Flying Fish will be cranky and refuse to rise." "Here's hoping!" mumbled Schuyler. He did not define the exact nature of his hope, but offered no further objections.
"It is our new model of the composite hydro-aeroplane," explained the manager. "It's the best standard built in this country the Monarch II." "It's easy to see that," responded Dave. "It is the equal of the Drifter in a great many ways." "That is true," replied Mr. Randolph.
This year also saw a great increase in the number of seaplanes, although the 'flying boat' type had only appeared at intervals and the vast majority were of the ordinary aeroplane type fitted with floats in place of the land undercarriage; which type was at that time commonly called 'hydro-aeroplane. The usual horse power was 50 that of the smallest Gnome engine although engines of 100 to 140 horse-power were also fitted occasionally.
It was as though all bridges had been burned. High overhead now floated the hydro-aeroplane, on which I kept my eye fixed almost hypnotically. There was still no signal from Kennedy, however. What was it he was after? Did he expect to see the fast express cruiser, lurking like a corsair about the islands of the river? If so, he gave no sign.
He saw that all locks on the turnbuckles were fastened, and that the locks had lock washers beneath them. All the movable wires were reinforced with a piece of loose hay wire, and provisions against rust perfected. Hiram stood mute, but fascinated, as the manager explained in detail the fine points of the Monarch II, as the composite hydro-aeroplane was named.
