Roebach is not quite sure now that he isn't suffering from some form of insanity," said Jack, chuckling. "Den it suah is too bad dat we nebber kin fin' dat chrisomela bypunktater plant ter cure him wid," declared Washington White, dolefully.
Otherwise the boy's friends might not have been warned of his predicament until too late to be of assistance to him. But the moment the wolves gave tongue Andy Sudds had started with a whoop for the cache of bear meat. Jack and Phineas Roebach followed with their weapons.
"That smoke lies a good way beyond the mouth of the river," said Phineas Roebach. "I believe it is on the sea." "A vessel afire?" proposed Mark. "It's a fire on a vessel," said the professor, suddenly. "I believe that is the smoke of the trying-out works on a whaler." "You've hit it, Professor," agreed Andy Sudds. "It's a whaler for sure.
"What will you do swim?" queried Jack, pointing to the river that was now washing the shore of the strip of soil on which they stood a river which seemed to stretch the entire breadth of the glacier. Jack and Mark were deeply impressed by the good sense of the professor's observations; and both Andy and Roebach were disturbed. They watched the disintegration of the ice with considerable worriment.
With Washington's help he was an hour in setting up the telescope and properly adjusting it, while the boys and Andy worked steadily upon the repairing of the flying machine. Roebach had loosed his dogs again and threw them the last bits of fish he had for them, and they were fighting over the putrid flesh at one side. The oil man watched the repairs with interest.
Yo' is tryin' ter bamboozle me, suah." "That is where the Arctic Ocean rolled, all right," growled Phineas Roebach. "I can swear to that. I have been here before.

"And where is the ocean?" demanded Phineas Roebach. "It was sucked away in a great tidal wave and left the Orion high and dry yonder," said the sailor.
"But you know we must at least arrive at Aleukan in time to meet the train from Coldfoot. If the Snowbird cannot be launched again, we will have to see if our good friend here, Mr. Roebach, can fit us out with dogs and men." "That I'll do to the best of my ability," said the oil man, rising. "But I'd better get out now and set my men to work.
Jack and Mark were on either side of the old hunter and were moving upon the herd with considerable circumspection, and all had about come to a place where the rifles could be used effectively, when Jack Darrow spied something that brought a cry to his lips. Fortunately both the hunter and Mr. Roebach fired the next instant and two of the sea lions were hit.
The professor immediately began to question the oil hunter regarding the exact situation of his camp and learned that they were but a hundred and fifty miles from Aleukan. Phineas Roebach had a plentiful supply of dogs and sleds, too, with a goodly store of provisions. If worse came to worst and the flying machine could not be at once prepared, Mr.
