They buckled their belts firmly, and Seaton, holding the bar toward their nearest antagonist, applied twenty notches of power. The Skylark darted forward and crashed completely through the great airship.
"I can't make her out," replied Norwood, for the yacht was over a mile distant. "But where is the other? One of them is getting badly beaten," added Rodman. "That must be the Skylark we see." "I don't believe it is. It is so thick we can't make her out, but her sails look very white. I think it is the Sea Foam."
All the dews on the hedgerows sparkled. There was not a cloud in the heavens. Up rose from the green blades of corn a solitary skylark. His voice woke up the other birds. A few minutes more and the joyous concert began. Kenelm reverently doffed his hat, and bowed his head in mute homage and thanksgiving.
"Don John, I am told that everybody is satisfied with this race except you," said Commodore Montague, as the party went on deck after the collation. "I am satisfied with it," replied Donald. "Everything has been perfectly fair, and the Skylark has beaten the Sea Foam." "But you still think the Sea Foam can outsail the Skylark?" "I think so; but of course I may be mistaken."
To Mary she complains of a certain coldness, but certainly this could not be brought to the charge of Shelley, who was now inspired to write his Epipsychidion. To him Emilia was as the Skylark, an emanation of the beautiful; but to Mary for a time, during Shelley's transitory adoration, the event evidently became painful, with all her philosophy and belief in her husband.
As he did so, a number of the smaller beings dived headlong into the water, and a submarine rose quietly to the surface less than fifty feet away with a peculiar tubular weapon and a huge ray-generator trained upon the Skylark.
They calculated their own speed, and that of the other vessel, as shown by the various readings taken, and applied just enough negative acceleration to slow the Skylark down to the speed of the other space-car when they should come up with it.
The Skylark was now days upon her way toward the sixth planet, Seaton gave the visiplates and the instrument board his customary careful scrutiny and rejoined the others. "Still talking about the human fish, Dottie Dimple?" he asked, as he stoked his villainous pipe. "Peculiar tribe of porpoises, but I'm strong for 'em.
Beetle Ring camp lay wrapped in fleecy whiteness. The camp was late astir, for Sunday was Beetle Ring's day not of rest, but of carousal. Two men had started out rather early the camp's jug delegation to the Skylark. Presently the men began to straggle out to the snug row of sheds where the horses were kept.
To-morrow this place will have a memory the river and the meadow, and the white falling weir: his heart will build a temple here; and the skylark will be its high-priest, and the old blackbird its glossy-gowned chorister, and there will be a sacred repast of dewberries. To-day the grass is grass: his heart is chased by phantoms and finds rest nowhere.
