"Come on, Sam," shouted Jack, as the boys lugged the two dripping, sputtering castaways on board. "I I can't swim. You'll have to come alongside for me," stuttered the badly-scared Sam. "All right. Hold on, and we'll do what we can," hailed Rob, starting to carry out the risky maneuver of getting alongside the plunging hydroplane in the heavy sea.
"Hello!" spoke Grimshaw, "I hope your hydroplane hasn't got you into any trouble running up against the government." "Oh, I think not," replied Dave with a smile. "It's a long story and a big story, Dave," replied Hiram. "You know the man you rescued he lake yesterday?" "Yes, Hiram." "Well, it turns out that he is a notorious smuggler and the government is looking for him."
They passed several large factory buildings. In their center was a small one story brick structure labeled "Office." Dave had never met the manager of the Interstate Company. He had transacted all his business with the agent of the company and the hydroplane expert. His companion led him past a row of desks occupied by clerks and stenographers and into a neatly furnished office.
It is history that the approach of the German fleet had been reported to the commander of the British cruiser Glasgow by an aviator, who had sailed across the dark sea in a hydroplane.
However by the skill of Engineer Morro, we got things going once more. All the time we lay there I saw a hydroplane floating between us and the British coast. I can understand how a mouse feels when it is in a tuft of grass and sees a hawk high up in the heavens.
Proud to have been thus honored, the six boys proceeded to push back the gaping crowd and when Frank gave the word, also assisted in starting the hydroplane on its way. A salvo of loud cheers rang out when they started, and this burst into a furious chorus as the well balanced aeroplane presently left the ground to start upward into the air.
As they neared the turning point, Rob saw, to his dismay, that the hydroplane was creeping up faster and faster. It was the last lap, and if Sam Redding's boat passed them at the stake the race was as good as over. "Come on, Flying Fish! Come on!" shouted Rob, as the hydroplane crept ever nearer and nearer to his boat's stern.
Because, of course, my first thought was that it must have been Percy Carberry's work; but now that you tell me he was here, and knew we hadn't fetched our hydroplane home, I hardly know what to think." "Did you say you worked till about eleven at the shop?" asked Andy, quickly. "Three minutes after when I quit, locked up, and went home," Frank replied.
"But if they came along after a while it'd save us from a lot of worrying. Just think, if the night set in, and the four of us weighing this poor old hydroplane down like we are what a time we'd have before another morning came around." "It would like as not rise, if there was only two aboard, wouldn't it?"
The hydroplane was forced over backwards, the tail striking a sand bar. Dave and Hiram were both ready for the tip. They escaped with only wetting their feet, for they climbed upon the bottom of the upper surface as the hydro capsized. The hydroplanes prevented the machine from sinking. Almost at once a boat put out from shore.
