There certainly was one happy soul in Mineola that day as the little fellow pranced off with the easiest money he had ever earned. But happier still were our young heroes, as they rapidly adjusted the lever and fitted their craft for the race, the starting moment for which was now only a brief time away. "You have never told us who that man was, Mr. Joyce," reminded Frank.
All of the passengers and crew were aboard when the baffled mob retreated from Mineola, and some, when that danger was past, wished to descend to the ground, and go and look at the rising waters, which had not yet invaded the neighborhood. But Cosmo absolutely forbade any departures from the ark.
When the matter of buying a plane was up for discussion more than a year before, after the boys and Jack Hampton, their absent chum, as well as Mr. Temple himself an enthusiast about flying all had become licensed pilots by taking a course at the Mineola flying fields, the question had been whether to buy a hydroplane.
Brown fields came up at him through the paling darkness. A sign-board showed that he was a few miles from Mineola. Letting the coming dawn uplift him, he tramped into Mineola, with a half-plan of going on to the near-by Hempstead Plains Aviation Field, to see if there was any early-morning flying. It would be bully to see a machine again! At a lunch-wagon he ordered buckwheat-cakes and coffee.
"Big fire Goggins's farm Mineola fire department bust up hurry," cried Frank all in a breath. "All right, we'll be on the job in ten minutes," cried the voice, and in a short time the big doors of the fire-house were flung open and lights switched on. The Westbury fire-engine was the cause of just pride to its operators.
After a few adjustments of the bed, the machine fell to work as evenly as it had at Mineola, and Frank announced that he was ready to cast off the lines that restrained the aeroplane to the side of the Bolo. With Frank in the driving seat, Harry at the engines and the others grouped in the chassis the start was made.
Afterward she was glad she had kissed him, for next day when his plane fell fifteen hundred feet at Mineola a piece of a gasolene engine smashed through his heart. When Mr. Haight told her that the trial would not take place until autumn she decided that without telling Anthony she would go into the movies.
But more nervous persons noticed, with certain misgivings, that Cosmo Versal pushed on his operations, if possible more energetically than before. And there was a stir of renewed interest when the announcement came out one day that the ark was finished. Then thousands hurried to Mineola to look upon the completed work. The extraordinary massiveness of the ark was imposing.
Their mechanics, in the meantime, had shoved the Eagle into the shed and closed the doors on the horde of the inquisitive. The boys' flight had taken place above the aviation grounds of the Aeronautic Society, situated at Mineola, on Long Island, a few miles outside New York city.
With a copy in their possession, the Ross boys hurried home, after having dinner with the Giddings family, to acquaint Mrs. Ross with the good news. As planned, the much-talked-of Air Derby around the world took place from Mineola Field, New York, on the 4th of July.
