The force under Lieutenant Innis had been reinforced, and was now under the command of Captain Kilpatrick, who had a hundred and fifty English troops, with four field guns. This was now advancing.
The inquest on the two drowned sailors was held next day at the Fifteen Balls, down in Innis village. Later in the afternoon, the four survivors walked up to the church, headed by the Captain. "We've been hearing," said the Captain, "of your difficulties, sir: likewise your kindness to other poor seafaring chaps.
I don't see anything the matter," remarked Innis in casual tones, while he flicked some dust from his shoes with a spare pocket handkerchief. "Why, you two are fussing as though you were a couple of girls at your first dance," declared Dick, as he adjusted the valves of the oil cups to supply a little more lubricant to the new motor, which had not yet warmed up to its work.
The first day we encamped about three miles from Cape Innis; the next day we stopped on a block of ice about three miles from Cape Bowden.
"I am glad to hear you say so," spoke the inventor, "but I never would have been able to perfect it had it not been for my friend Dick Hamilton." "Why don't you blush, Dick?" asked Innis, playfully. "I don't take any credit to myself at all," said the young millionaire. "Well, I'm going to give it to you," declared the aviator.
"Then you take the wheel and make it," suggested Innis, who had been steering. Dick did so, but his hand accidentally touched the gasolene lever, cutting off the supply to the motor. In an instant the machine went dead. "Never mind!" cried the young millionaire. "I'll go down anyhow. No use starting the motor again. I'll volplane and land where I can."
He was met by Alice, who cordially embraced him; but he appeared anxious to release himself from her endearments, that he might at once enter upon matters to him of more serious importance. "Where is the Father Innis, my dear?" said he, disengaging himself from her arms. "He sleeps, Robert, or, at least, he did just now, but probably he will rise now that you are come.
"I guess you can count me in," agreed Innis, slowly. "How about it, Larry?" asked Dick, as the young reporter came across the campus. "How does it feel to sail above the clouds?" "Well, I haven't yet gone up that far. This is only about my fifth flight, and we only did 'grass cutting' for the first few that is going up only a little way above the ground. I had to get used to it gradually.
There is an old name for Ireland, Innis Fodhla, which means the Island of Destiny, and though Polly had been born in a little New England village, nevertheless, in her blood there was a strain of those inheritances which have made the Irish nation so unlike all others. While Betty and Polly were friends there was apt to be peace among all the girls in camp, but if they should disagree?
I've told you that he shall not play; and he shall not. And while I'm about it I'll admit what you are preparing to accuse me of; I did make Sandon Craig promise to keep away; I did try to make that little fool Scott Innis promise, too; and when he wouldn't I informed his father. . . . And every time you try your dirty bucket-shop methods on boys like that, I'll do the same."
