But if the populace of Logansville had been in the habit of having Andy Foger sail over their heads, still they were enough interested in a new craft to crowd around when Tom dropped into a field near some outlying houses. In a moment the airship was surrounded by a crowd of women and children, and there would probably been a lot of men, but for the fact that they were away at work.
Then they'll rush a big shipment over." "Then's the time we must catch them," declared the young inventor. "We may as well go back now." "And not a picture!" exclaimed Mr. Period tragically. "Well, be sure to get good ones when you do make a capture, Tom." "I will," promised the young inventor. Then, with a last sweep along the border he turned the nose of his craft toward Logansville.
I understand, of course. I know! This friend of yours has been very kind to me, Tom. I looked him up as soon as I got to Logansville, and told him what I wanted. He offered to show me the way out here, and here I am. Let's have a look at the camera, to see if it's in good shape. Are you going to have a try for the smugglers to-night?" "I think so," answered Tom.
I suppose the smugglers take the goods from the river steamers, land them, pack them in airships, and fly across with them. But if you're trying to connect the Fogers, and Logansville, and Montford with the smugglers, I don't see where it comes in with the St. Lawrence, and the airships, Tom." "Forget that part of it for a while, Ned. Maybe they are all off on airships, anyhow.
But say, Tom, you've got to get busy. A big lot of goods was smuggled over last night." "Where?" "Well, quite a way from here. I got a telegram about it. Can you get on the job to-night, and do some patrol work along the border? You're only half a mile from it now. Over there is Canada," and he pointed to a town on a hill opposite Logansville. "Yes, I can get right into action.
Hastily the young inventor tore open the envelope. "Here's news!" he exclaimed, "What is it?" asked Ned. "It's from Mr. Whitford," answered his chum. "He says: 'Can't be with you at start. Will meet you in Logansville. Have new clew to the Fogers!" "Great Scott!" cried Ned, staring at his chum.
Now, however, when it was almost certain that they were on the wrong scent, Tom switched on the incandescents, making the interior of the Falcon more pleasant. The giant came into the pilot house to help Tom, and the airship was turned about, and headed toward Logansville.
But there was no need to take this precaution, for, just as the combined juvenile population of that part of Logansville was prepared to storm, and board the Falcon, Koku appeared on deck. "Oh, look at the giant!" "Say, this is a circus airship?" "Wow! Ain't he big!" "I'll bet he could lift a house!" These and other expressions came from the boys and girls about the airship.
"I mean I believe that we have been deceived by a false clew. The smugglers probably had no intention of getting goods across at this point to-night. They saw to it that my agent got false information, believing that we would follow it, and leave the vicinity of Logansville." "So they could operate there?" asked Tom. "That's it," replied the agent. "They drew us off the scent.
The first place at which we stopped to rest was a village on the old York road, called New Market. There nothing occurred to cause us alarm; so, after taking some refreshments, we proceeded towards York; but when near Logansville, we were interrupted by three white men, one of whom, a very large man, cried, "Hallo!" I answered, "Hallo to you!" "Which way are you travelling?" he asked. We replied,
