"A man might drop sand into the bearings or grease cups or do some other mean trick and nobody ever see him." "All right, then," laughed George, "I'll be the goat. I'll stay here while you're gone. I guess I shan't be lonesome," he added with a laugh as he glanced at the increasing assembly which already had been drawn to the dock to gaze at the beautiful little motor-boat.
"We're all ready," answered the Go Ahead boys together and a moment later the Black Growler was speeding on her way toward the waters of the open lake. "My, what a glorious day this is," exclaimed John when a little later the motor-boat was fast leaving Oswego behind. Indeed there was much to cause the young sailors to be enthusiastic over the morning.
The boatman's face was crusted with salt and his eyes were twinkling. "How about it?" he asked. "Do you think Barrows made any mistake?" When Gregory recovered his breath, he observed: "Yes. I wanted a motor-boat. Not an aeroplane." Bronson laughed. "Easier to go through the air than the water," he said. "That's why we made your boat plane.
There's no knowing what will happen." In this manner the canoe slowly was paddled toward the motor-boat, but Fred was holding the rope by which the second girl was held and consequently was unable to respond to the appeal of his friends to come to their aid.
He would not let Dick Percival, who was the son of rich parents, and had more money to spend than was really good for him, buy him a motor-boat, nor would he spend too much money on one himself when he would use it only for the smallest part of the year. The school term was over, but Dr.
In the boat Tom raced with Andy Foger, a town bully, and beat him. Tom also took out on pleasure trips his chum, Ned Newton, who worked in a Shopton bank, and the two had fine times together. Need I also say that Mary Nestor also had trips in the motor-boat?
He had seen the dark clouds Frank mentioned, and noted that the wind was no longer in the east, but had swung around to the southwest almost magically. Of course, they were making as fast time as the motor-boat could boast toward the dim shore line. How very far away it seemed to be!
And finally they made such a fuss and threw out so many hints that I had to send the motor-boat over to the main-land. This made me rather sore at the moment, and I wished that the motor-boat was at the bottom of the Sound; but it wasn't, and had to be sent. Later in the day I was struck with an idea.
In a cove below the river bank, however, Ruth caught a glimpse of a small motor-boat with two men in it. And backed into a wood's path near the highway was a small motor-car. Was it the smart roadster Mr. Horatio Bilby had driven to the Red Mill? Ruth could not be sure. But she did not enjoy the ride with Helen and Aunt Alvirah very much for thinking of the possibility of its being Mr.
At the sight of the young inventor she uttered an exclamation of relief. "Why, Mr. Swift!" she cried. "Oh, I'm in such trouble. I can't make the machine work, and I'm afraid it's broken; it exploded." "Miss Nestor!" blurted out Tom, more surprised evidently to see his acquaintance of the runaway again than she was at beholding him. "I didn't know you ran a motor-boat," he added.
