Just as Joe Clausin had said, it had a real "spooky" air, that, at the time, with night at hand, did not impress them very favorably. It was with extreme caution that the two motor-boats crept along the shore of the island, with numerous eyes on the lookout for a good landing place. "Seems to be plenty of water right here," remarked Jud, who was sounding with one of the poles.
I ought to have known. I'm a beast. I am glad, awfully glad you've got a new job. What is it?" "New company handling a new kind of motor for row-boats converts 'em to motor-boats in a jiffy outboard motors they call 'em. Got a swell territory and plenty bonus on new business." "Oh, isn't that fine! It's such a fine surprise and it's cute of you to keep it to surprise me with all this while "
They did solve it, as will be told in the next book of this series, to be called "Tom Swift and His Airship; or, The Stirring Cruise of the RED CLOUD." They had some remarkable adventures in the wonderful craft, and solved the mystery of a great bank robbery. This ended the contests of the motor-boats and the little fleet crowded up to the floats and docks, where the prizes were to be awarded.
Jack won the race for motor-boats against a considerable fleet, and was the most popular boy in camp, not only on this account, but because of his timely action at the moment of danger whereby a catastrophe was averted. "That's only another time when Jack Sheldon has shown his nerve," declared Harry warmly.
No serious obstacle was encountered until the crossings of the Jordan were reached. A small party was sent in motor-boats across the Dead Sea to dispose of any enemy who might be in the district to the north-east of the Dead Sea, but they met with few traces of the enemy. The enemy had destroyed the bridge at Ghoraniyeh early in the month.
Gasolene is sometimes used for lighting, though such use is not common. It is largely used for cooking, and still more largely used in the various types of gasolene engines. Naphtha is used for power, especially for motor-boats, and for cleaning, in which it is very valuable by reason of its power to dissolve dirt.
Usually four Japs constitute the crew of one of these fast eighty-horse-power motor-boats. They roam the sea with sharp eyes ever alert for that thin white line on the horizon, the feeding albacore. Their method of fishing is unique and picturesque. When they sight albacore they run up on the school and slow down. In the stern of the boat stands a huge tank, usually painted red.
In this book therefore the left bank, from the custom house to the railway station, is described first, and then the other side returning from the station to the Molo. The Grand Canal has for long had its steamers, and when they were installed there was a desperate outcry, led by Ruskin. To-day a similar outcry is being made against motor-boats, with, I think, more reason, as I hope to show later.
The wind was slightly stronger than it had been a few minutes before and the spray dashed more frequently over the crews of both boats. Somehow the two racing motor-boats had now drawn in so that they were nearer each other by at least two yards than they had been at the start.
McKinney's has a fine new dancing-hall, dark-room for amateur photographers, iron and magnesia springs, fleet of fishing- and motor-boats, free fishing-tackle, etc., and during the season its accommodation for two hundred guests is more than taxed to the limit. For circular address Murphy Brothers and Morgan, McKinney's, Lake Tahoe, Calif.
