But the third, of which he alone holds the key, communicates with a tunnel leading to the river bank, where a motorboat is concealed." "Ah, that motor-boat!" cried Max. "He travels at night, you understand " "Always, I am told." "Yes, always. Therefore, once he is out on the river, he is moderately secure between the first lock and the Nore!
When it dashes into a school of smaller fish, these fins whirl about in every direction, and as they are often four feet long they easily reach more than one hapless fish and he is swept into the yardwide mouth of the monster and devoured with almost lightning speed." After a rest, the party went out in the motorboat again, this time to catch foodfish.
"I have a boat over here," Gunnar said, and led the way. Going parallel to the water was nearly as hard as coming down to it. Then Gunnar, who by now was a score of yards ahead, stopped and held up his hand. When Odin came up he whispered, "We have a visitor." Peering behind a huge rock Odin saw a tiny motorboat moored in a little inlet that was barely large enough to fit it.
Then the two lads awaited developments. Apparently the craft ahead had not discovered the presence of the motorboat containing Lord Hastings, Jack, Frank, and a crew of four men; neither did the distance between the two boats seem to diminish. The two were not approaching each other. "Twenty-five knots," came Lord Hastings' command, and the little craft seemed to leap ahead.
The moon rose and turned the boats into weird shapes as they ploughed through the gray mists a strange and terrible sight for the Nascopees lurking in the underbrush along the shore. And while the men smoked and sang "Die Wacht am Rhein," listening to the trill of the ripples against the bows, the foremost motorboat grounded.
Giraffe may have been suffering all sorts of agonies at the time, but of course he was not going to let the others see him wince; so he smiled sweetly as he once more gained his feet, and took up the big fish, saying at the same time: "Don't mention it; I'm all right, Bumpus." But they could see him limp more or less as they headed for the camp by the captured motorboat of the fish poachers.
There they had a good view up and down the bluff-jagged, hilly and tree-laden coast. "It's 11 o'clock now," said Hazel, looking at her wrist-watch. "The motorboat will be here at about 1 o'clock, and we have two hours in which to get the information we are after unless we want to share honors for success with the other girls when they arrive."
"The Glasgow," he said quietly. "All ready, boys. Time to get busy." As the steamship Glasgow drew nearer, the signs of activity among the various units of the motorboat fleet became more acute. The little craft darted hither and thither, finally dividing into two sections, one section on each side of the channel through which the Glasgow steamed toward them.
All the data concerning the invention is back there in the safe!" "And they're already halfway there in their motorboat!" groaned Phil. But Mr. Fulton made no answer. His eyes were closed; he had fainted dead away. Tod jumped up from where he had been kneeling beside his father. "Look after him, Phil," he directed briskly. "Jerry, you come with me.
In order to gain time for an orderly retreat a heavy fire was maintained against the Germans up to the last minute and the forts were then blown up by the defenders as the Germans came in at the gate of Malines. "I was lucky enough to escape by the river to the north in a motorboat.
