Vardon, with a tragic gesture, as he made an examination. "There's a leak in the tank. We haven't a drop left. The vibration must have opened a seam and we've been spilling our fuel as we went along." "There goes the other airship!" cried Innis, as the big biplane flashed by them. They had now crossed Oakland and the bay.
"We've missed guard-mount!" remarked Innis, as he saw the other cadets at the drill. "Can't be helped. We had a good excuse," said Dick. "Now we've got to attend to him," and he nodded at Jack Butt, who seemed to have collapsed again. With military promptness, the mechanic was carried to the hospital, and the school doctor was soon working over him.
And with a sandwich and a cup of coffee beside him, Mr. Vardon worked at the wires, putting in permanent ones in place of the temporary conductors. This could be done without stopping the motor. "I wonder if it was the fire Grit was anticipating all the while he acted so queer?" asked Innis. "I don't know but it was something," Dick said.
Speed up, I say, and let's see if we can't get away from him." "We've got a heavier machine, and more weight aboard," spoke Dick. "Say, can't you drop us off?" cried Paul. "That would lighten you a whole lot. Let Innis and me go!" "I'll drop off, too, if it will help any," Larry Dexter offered. "And be killed?" asked Mr. Vardon. "Not necessarily.
But in the meantime, I have discovered who the traitor is." "By all the saints, he shall not escape my vengeance!" Alice then entered into the particulars related by Nancy Corbett, and already known to the reader. She had just concluded when Father Innis made his appearance from the cave. "Welcome, thrice welcome, holy father." "Welcome, too, my son. Say, do we start to-night?"
The first sight he had of the face of Lieutenant Larson, after the latter had removed his protecting helmet and goggles, made Dick say to himself: "That fellow will bear watching! I don't like the look in his eyes." But Dick said nothing of this to Paul or Innis. He made up his mind he would learn their impressions later.
"Well, my ideas are rather hazy yet," admitted the young millionaire, "but if I can get it built, it's going to be one of the biggest airships yet made. We'll travel in style, if we travel at all," he said, with a laugh. "I'm thinking of having an aircraft with some sort of enclosed cabin on it." "Say, that will be quite an elaborate affair," commented Innis.
However, although the Forward had nothing to fear from the collision of the ice-streams, which were still pretty far apart, they made very little progress northward, for contrary winds often forced them to stop. They passed Capes Spencer and Innis slowly, and on Tuesday, the 10th, cleared 75 degrees to the great delight of Clifton.
"Have your own way," murmured Innis. "But, if the airship would be safe up here in the park, in a shed, we could take our time, and not have to hurry so." "I guess that would be a good plan," agreed Dick. "I'd like to see the girls myself. We'll do it if we can find a shed."
Tell us quick!" begged Innis, for he, as well as all of Dick's friends, wanted to see him win the prize. "I think the insulation has been burning off some of the wires of the motor," was his answer. "That would make a short circuit and put it out of business.
