And you let me monkey with the motor, and get all grease and dirt while you Say, I guess we'll call off this eating stunt," and he swung over the steering wheel. "Oh, I say?" protested Innis. "Don't be mean?" added Paul. "We haven't seen the girls in some time, and there's three of 'em " Dick laughed.
Little girl oh, little girl, what have you done to yourself? for you have done nothing to me, child, that can match it in sheer atrocity!" Her colour was long in returning. "Philip," she said unsteadily, "I don't think I can stand this " "Yes, you can." "I am too close to the wall. "Talk to Scott Innis. Take him away from Rosamund Fane; that will tide you over. Or feed those fool fish; like this!
Now if we can only keep afloat long enough to change those wires, we may be able to start the motor again, and keep on our way before we touch ground." "You've struck it!" cried Mr. Vardon. "Dick, you take charge of the wheel you and any of your friends you want. I'll look over the motor, and make repairs if I can." "And they'll have to be made pretty soon," called out Innis from the pilot-house.
The twenty thousand dollars was duly paid, and Dick gave the United States government an option to purchase his patents of the Abaris. For them he would receive a substantial sum, and a large part of this would go to Mr. Vardon for his gyroscope. "So you'll be all right from now on," his cousin Innis remarked. "Yes, thanks to your friend Dick Hamilton. My good luck all dates from meeting him."
And the Danaans raised up a druid mist and a storm against them, whereby Ireland seemed to them no more than the size of a pig's back in the water; and by reason of that it has the name of Innis na Wic, the Island of the Pig. But if the Gods had magic, Amargin had better magic; and he sang that Invocation to the Land of Ireland; and at that the storm fell and the mist vanished.
By the 29th of August a considerable quantity of supplies had been accumulated, and then began a general movement of our troops for crossing the river. As there were not with the army enough pontoons to complete the two bridges required, I was expected to build one of them of trestles; and a battalion of the First Michigan Engineers under Colonel Innis was sent me to help construct the bridge.
But, I tell you, frankly, I don't approve of what you are going to do." Dick's chums looked curiously at him. "I may as well confess," laughed the young millionaire, "I'm thinking of buying an airship, fellows." "Whew!" whistled Paul. "That's going some, as the boys say," commented Innis. "Tell us all about it." "I will," said Dick, frankly. "It's been on my mind the last few days, and "
"I'll have pickled eels' feet," laughed Innis, who had relinquished the wheel to Mr. Vardon. "Wait a bit, Dick, and I'll drop a line overboard and catch a few." "And I'll see if I can't shoot a mock turtle," came from Paul. "Nothing but roast turkey for mine," insisted Lieutenant McBride. "But I guess we'll have to compromise on capsule soup and condensed sandwiches."
"Morning?" repeated Innis. "Well, where are we?" "Have to go down and take an observation," suggested the lieutenant. "I think we must be very near New York." Paul, who was in charge of the wheel looked for confirmation to Dick. The latter nodded, and the cadet pulled the lever that would send the airship on a downward slant. It was not long before a group of big buildings came into view.
