"Much obliged, Mr. Damon, but I have a new idea," said Tom. "You have? What is it? Tell me that is, if it isn't a secret," went on the eccentric man, as much delighted over Tom's new plan as he had been over his own Whizzer, doomed to failure so soon. "It isn't a secret from you," said Tom. "I got the idea while I was riding with Mary.
I reckon you better go on home you two an' yo' mean dawg," he said to Daws; and the two Dillons the one sullen and the other crying with rage moved away with Whizzer slinking close to the ground after them. But at the top of the hill both turned with bantering yells, derisive wriggling of their fingers at their noses, and with other rude gestures.
He hesitated, looking about him; but whether his search was for more pie or for moral support he did not say. Truth to tell, there was plenty of both. He reached for another pie and another knife, and he grinned his wide grin at Irish, who had just come up. "Dutchy's trying to run a whizzer," he remarked, cutting a defiant gash clean across the second pie. "What do yuh know about that?"
I didn't count on that." "Perhaps we had better go down," suggested Mr. Fenwick. "I don't believe we can get above the gale." "I'm afraid not," came from Tom. "It may be a bit better down below." Accordingly, the rudder was changed, and the WHIZZER pointed her nose downward. None of the lifting gas was let out, as it was desired to save that for emergencies.
"We'll do better," declared Tom. He had already set the gas machine in operation, and was now looking over the electric apparatus, to see that it was working well. It needed some adjustments, which he made. All this while the WHIZZER was moving about in a big circle, for the rudder had been automatically set to so swing the craft.
"Well," remarked Tom, hesitatingly, "I think the arrangement of the planes will also have to be changed. It will take quite some work, but perhaps, after a bit, we can get the WHIZZER up in the air." "Can you begin work at once?" asked the inventor, eagerly. Tom shook his head. "I can't stay long enough on this trip," he said.
"I'll look for them, after breakfast," Tom promised, and following a fairly substantial meal, considering the exigencies under which it was prepared, he got out the medicine chest, of which part remained in the wreck of the WHIZZER, and dressed his wound. He felt much better after that. "Well, what's our program for to-day?" Mr.
An auspicious start was made, the WHIZZER taking the air after a short flight across the ground, and then, with the lifting gas aiding in pulling the craft upward, the airship started to sail high over the city of Philadelphia. So swiftly did it rise that the cheers of the little crowd of Mr. Fenwick's friends were scarcely heard.
"A good three hundred miles from where I left the H.M.S. Dolphin about four hours ago," he said. "That squall I rode in on was some whizzer! "The Dolphin," he went on, calmly divesting himself of his soaked uniform, "was on her way to Melbourne. I'd been yearning for a joy ride and went up for an alleged scouting trip.
"Only WHIZZER killed that sheep and Jack killed Whizzer." From every Dillon throat came a scornful grunt. "Oh, I reckon so," said Chad, easily. "Look dhar!" He lifted the dead dog's head, and pointed at the strands of wool between his teeth. He turned it over, showing the deadly grip in the throat and close to the jaws, that had choked the life from Whizzer Jack's own grip.
