"Then we got some gas and started for Bridgeboro after the cup. We went after that cup like Sir Thomas Lipton. The jewelry man didn't have the engraving finished so we dropped in at a movie show and saw a fellow with a lot of pistols. How many pistols were there, First Aid? We counted them off coming back in the machine, there were seventy. Crazy stuff. That's the kind of stuff you kids fall for.
"No time like the present," Lipton said. He grinned. "How did you like it?" Rick returned the grin. "I guess you know the answer to that." "I guess I do. It was a good flight, Rick. You only let your normal habits get in the way twice, and you corrected fast both times. Keep your helmet on now. I'll be talking to you from the blockhouse in five minutes." It was less than that.
He was perfectly willing, also, to welcome "classy" dogs, as George and Dan called them, like Stefansson, Lipton, or dainty Margaret Winston, from Kentucky.
He leveled off and pulled into a tight turn, much as he might turn the Sky Wagon. G forces slammed him into the bucket seat and the world went gray as blood drained from his head. "Let up," Lipton snapped. Rick corrected groggily. Wow! He had forgotten that power had its limitations, too. A tight turn meant pulling too many G's too many times the force of gravity for safety.
She says she feels as if she wanted to kill every man who looks at her as if he loved her. I think I should, too." "Miss Lipton has a great many admirers," remarked James by way of changing the subject. "Oh, yes, every young man for miles around, ever since she was grown up. She doesn't like any of them."

There are many capitalists in Europe as rich, as vulgar, as selfish, as rootedly opposed to any fellowship of the fortunate and unfortunate. But there is no other capitalist who claims, or can pretend to claim, that he has very appreciably helped the activities of his people in war. I will suppose that Lipton did not deserve the very severe criticisms made on his firm by Mr.
He must be badly hurt. According to Cliff's calculations, he pulled nearly thirteen G's on the ascent." "He can't be in very good shape," the doctor agreed. "Can't you bring him down any faster?" Jerry Lipton shook his head. "The faster the descent, the higher the heat. If the boy's already badly hurt, running his temperature up won't help his condition any.
The Aegusa formerly was the Erin, the private yacht of Sir Thomas Lipton, and valued at $375,000 when the Government took it over. The craft was well known to Americans, as Sir Thomas, several times challenger for the international cup held in America, had made more than one trip to our shores on the vessel.
Tommy, who was steering, promptly shut down the engine to its slowest pace, and reaching up I grabbed hold of Joyce's hand, which she held out to me, and pulled the dinghy alongside. "Very nice, Tommy," I said. "Lipton couldn't have done it better." "How's the poor man?" asked Joyce, looking down pityingly at my prostrate passenger.
Seldom have I made so long a speech or so rude a speech, and as soon as I had spoken, on account of the lovely lady, I was sorry. But after a pause of half a second she laughed delightedly. "I see," she cried, as though it were a sort of a game. "He means Lipton! We can't lift the cup, we can't lift the roofs. Don't you see, Stumps!" she urged.
