The intended passive defensive will not be improved by the theatrical attack with one division suggested by General von Kress. On the contrary this attack would be without result, as it would be carried out too obliquely to the front, and would only mean a sacrifice of men and material.
There was food as for a long siege. Jeter shuddered. Why had he thought of the word "siege"? The great load would be carried without difficulty, however, for this plane was little short of a miracle. Among other things, Kress would be able, in case of fatigue, to set his controls as at sea a pilot may sometimes lash his wheel and sleep while his plane mounted on up, and up, in great spirals.
You'll remember it broke in the papers simultaneously, in thirty countries of the world!" A cold chill ran down the spine of Tema Eyer. He saw, in a flash, whither Kress' thoughts were tending and when he saw that, it thrilled him, too, for it seemed to be proof of the very thing Kress was saying.
Maybe the law has clamped down on some of them. I've a feeling that if everything were told, the whole world would be frightened stiff. And you notice how quickly the papers finished with the Kress' thing." Eyer knew, all right. The papers had broken the story of the return in flaming scareheads. Then the thing had come to a full stop.
Then man's urge to go places he hadn't seen before would take him away from the Earth entirely when he would begin the task of making even the universe shrink to appease the gods of speed. Somehow the thought was a melancholy one. Now the crowd gave back as Kress speeded up his motor, indicating that he would soon take off. Jeter and Eyer studied the outward outline of Kress' craft.
"You will have twenty-four hours in which to decide whether to join us," was Sitsumi's ultimatum. "We would not allow you five minutes were it not that our cause would be benefited by the addition of your scientific knowledge." Sitsumi did not repeat the alternative. Remembering Kress, Jeter and Eyer did not need to ask him. There was but one alternative death a particularly horrible one.
Without a word they climbed in and drove themselves to their dwelling combined home and laboratory in Mineola. There they fell to on their own ship, which was being built piece by piece in their laboratory. Every half hour or so one or the other would go to the lawn and gaze aloft, seeking Kress. "He's out of eyesight," said Eyer, the last to go. "Is the telescope set up?"
It sounds silly, perhaps, but I feel sure that the disappearance of those steers in Wyoming, the story the boy told about the columns of light yes, all five of them! and the Indian's partial confirmation of it, are all tied up together with the disappearance of Kress." Eyer started to grin his disbelief, but a look at his partner's tense face stopped him.
At 30,000 feet the aeronauts were inhaling oxygen, and before reaching their highest point both had for a considerable time remained unconscious. In 1901 a new aeroplane flying machine began to attract attention, the invention of Herr Kress. A novel feature of the machine was a device to render it of avail for Arctic travel.
In this plan there is no doubt that General Allenby entirely deceived his enemy, for in the next few days there was the best of evidence to show that General Kress von Kressenstein believed we were going to advance from Beersheba to Jerusalem up the Hebron road, and he made his dispositions to oppose us here.
