Grab that man!" cried Mr. Roumann, as he rushed toward Axtell, who was hammering away madly. Jack and Mark started for the fellow. "Keep away!" cried the machinist, swinging the sledge toward the boys. "I want to work on an airship, and I'm going to do it. I'll make some dents in it, and then I'll straighten them out! Whoop!" Mr. Henderson hastened forward. He took in the situation at a glance.
Roumann and Professor Henderson," suggested Mark. They started toward the pilot house, but met the two scientists rushing back toward the engine-room. "Has anything happened?" asked Jack. "Yes," answered the German. "The Etherium motor has stopped working!" "And are we falling?" asked Mark. "Yes, in a sense," answered Mr. Henderson, as the other inventor hurried on.
First there is Mercury, then " "I know," interrupted Jack; "Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. I learned them at school." "That's right," said Mr. Roumann.
At four o'clock the two lads had their task completed, and at the same time Professor Henderson announced that the air and water pumps were now in good shape again. "Then let's get under way at once," suggested Mr. Roumann. "We have lost enough time as it is. Hurry inside, boys, and we'll start."
"Sure. But I don't want to be frozen or boiled either, if I can help it. Guess I'll wear my fur suit that we brought back from the North Pole with us." "I agree with you, Professor Roumann, about the temperature," announced Mr. Henderson, "so we must make up our minds to shiver, rather than melt. But we are prepared for that." "What about there being no air on the moon?" asked Jack.
"Maybe they're going to roll us into it," said Mark. "No," spoke Mr. Roumann, after watching the crowd at work, "I'm inclined to think they're laying a mine, and are going to blow us up." "Blow us up?" "Yes. They evidently have some explosive over there, to judge by the manner in which they guard it." "Can we stand being blown up?" asked Jack. "I hardly think so.
"I am beginning to think more and more that we will find people on the other side of this globe," remarked Mr. Roumann, as he made an observation through a telescope. "What strengthens your belief?" inquired Mr. Henderson. "The fact that the vegetation is growing thicker. There are many more plants below us now than there were before.
"Sit down," begged Mark. "I'll not!" retorted Jack. "I'm going to prove to you that I'm right." "How are you going to do it?" "I'm going to get Professor Henderson and Professor Roumann to translate this article for you, and then you can ask them what Reonaris is. Guess that'll convince you; won't it?" "Maybe; but why don't you ask Andy Sudds or Washington White to give their opinion?"
Roumann paid an early visit to the machine shop the next morning, he uttered a cry of surprise. "What is it?" asked Jack, who accompanied him. "The plates the plates of the Etherium motor!" cried the scientist. "They have been stolen!" For a moment Jack stared at Mr. Roumann. He did not appreciate the seriousness of the announcement.
Silex Corundum made a motion as of some body flying through space, and looked inquiringly at the travelers. "He wants to know how we got here," interpreted Mark. "I'll draw a picture of the projectile," said Mr. Roumann, and he put on the board one containing many details. So interested was the chief ruler and his cabinet, that they all came down off the platform to examine it more closely.
