I tell you, to travel even thirty miles on the Yukon in winter, even with a bully team and old Nick to drive 'em, and not an extra ounce on your back I tell you, Colonel, it's no joke." "B'lieve you, sonny." It wasn't thirty seconds before sonny was adding: "Did that half-breed think it was any use our trying to get dogs?" "Ain't to be had now for love or money."
Even Edmund could not answer that question. He pulled a knob, and I held my breath. There was the slightest perceptible tremor. Was it going to balk? No, thank Heaven! It was under way. In a few seconds we were off the tower in the free air. Edmund pressed a button, and the speed instantly increased. The gorgeous tower seemed to be flying away from us like a soap bubble.
Lay out as far forrard as you can, an' pass the word for steerin'." Hozier obeyed. The discordant bleat of a foghorn came again, apparently right ahead. In a few seconds he caught the flapping of a propeller, and silenced the launch's engines. "We are close in now," he said to Coke, after a brief and noiseless drift. "Why not try a hail!"

The enemy's artillery seemed to be neglecting us, and to be bent upon the destruction of the Boesinghe bridge, by which we had crossed the Yser. His great shells flew over our heads with a sinister roar, and a few seconds later we heard the explosion far behind us. The German trenches in front of us were silent. A single shot fired at intervals alone reminded us that they were not forsaken.

"Was I down four minutes?" asked Joe. "Four minutes and forty seconds," said Helen. "I kept track by my wrist watch. It was awful, Joe, to see the seconds ticking off. I could hardly do it but I did," she finished with a smile. "Four minutes and forty seconds," murmured Joe. "Then I've beaten the world's record." "Yes," said Helen.
