"Yes, I have been anxious about him," she said, simply, "but he is nearly well now, and we shall soon be going to England." Mrs. McBride had not taken a companion on this drive for nothing, and she obtained all the information she wanted during their tour in the Bois. How Josiah Brown had bought a colossal place in the eastern counties, and intended to have parties and shoot there in the autumn.
Particularly, was this Grandfather McBride's reading of the unspoken word. But Miss Prentiss, herself, thought so otherwise that the situation completely reversed itself. To Miss Prentiss, Grandfather McBride was left absolutely under her eye.
"I shall certainly report as to the wisdom of having such an apparatus on every airship the United States uses," declared Lieutenant McBride. "No matter whether Dick Hamilton's craft wins the prize or not, and I certainly hope he does the gyroscope must be used."
In a second of time he reviewed the situation; a faint coldness in his manner would be the thing to draw and it was; for when he had greeted Mrs. McBride without gush, and presented his daughter with the air of just passing on, the widow implored them with great cordiality to leave their solitary meal and join her party. Nor would she hear of any refusal.
Now and then she was speeded up for a time, as Dick and the aviator wanted to see what she could do when called on suddenly. She responded each time. "I think she'll do," said Lieutenant McBride, when it came his turn to take a little rest. "You have a fine craft, Mr. Hamilton." "Glad of it," responded Dick. "We'll see what she does when we straighten her out on the long run to San Francisco."
"If a man runnin' like that Gilchrist can blurt oot the news and keep runnin', it's maistly truth, but if he stops and begins to walk, and twist his mouth before he speaks, he's makin' lies," said McKinnon, and turned himself in the water. The searchers were beginning to tire of beating. "Roast the devil oot." "Ay, gie McBride a taste o' the fire."
The springs took up the shock and strain, and the next moment Dick's craft was floating easily on the great lake. The landing had been made without an accident to mar it. "Good!" cried Lieutenant McBride, as he jotted down the time. "Do you know how long you have been, so far, Dick, on the trip?" "How long?" "Just thirty-five hours, four minutes and eight seconds!" was the answer.
"She may catch fire from the gasolene," said Dick, in a tense voice. "We ought to hurry all we can." "I could go down faster," said Mr. Vardon, "by starting up the motor. But I don't like to until I see what sort of landing ground we'll have." "No, it's wiser to go a bit slowly," agreed Lieutenant McBride. "We must save ourselves in order to save them if possible. It's a terrible accident!"
Kentucky was also traversed by John Peter Salling with his three adventurous companions in their journey through the Middle West in 1742. But all these early visits, including the memorable expeditions of Walker and Gist, were so little known to the general public that when John Filson wrote the history of Kentucky in 1784 he attributed its discovery to James McBride in 1754.
It was an extra link between them, and Jane McBride, who was superstitious, read the omen to mean that this time each had met his true mate. "If he is irresistible to-day, I think I shall clinch matters," she was saying to herself.
