"Three thousand won't be any too much," agreed the aviator. "She'll handle better at that distance, or higher. But until we give her a work out, it's best not to get too high." The big propellers were whirling more and more rapidly as the motor warmed-up to its work.
I hope I haven't damaged them any." "Oh, they are easily fixed," said Tom. "I hope you and your biplane are not damaged. This way, Koku!" he called to the giant. "Say, is is he real, or am I seeing things?" asked the aviator, as he looked at the big man. "Oh, he's real, all right," laughed Tom.
"Yes," assented Dick. "Well, I happen to have plenty of money, through no fault of my own, and we'll do this airship business up properly. "I'd like you to get started at it as soon as you can, and as there will be preliminary expenses, I'm going to advance you some cash. You'll have to order certain parts made up, won't you?" he asked. "Yes, I presume so," agreed the aviator.
Not until Bland had said, "Wait till you've been in the game as long as I have," had Johnny realized to the full just what it would mean to him to part with his airplane without being accepted by the government as an aviator. At the Rolling R, when his conscience debt to Sudden pressed so heavily, he had figured very nicely and had found the answer to his problem without much trouble.
"And I'll see 'em I will. Sho!" Miss Hunniwell regarded him mischievously. "Jed," she asked, "would you like to be an aviator?" Jed's answer was solemnly given. "I'm afraid I shouldn't be much good at the job," he drawled. His visitor burst into another laugh. He looked at her over his glasses. "What is it?" he asked. "Oh, nothing; I I was just thinking of you in a uniform, that's all."
Nothing daunted, however, the plucky British aviator had his machine brought out, and he went in pursuit of Paulhan late in the afternoon. When darkness set in Mr. White had reached Roade, but the French pilot was several miles ahead. Now came one of the most thrilling feats in the history of aviation. Mr.
All that he could guess was that they were on land. How he had been fished out of the water, and what had become of the Drifter, the young aviator had no means of knowing. The two men were rough looking fellows and reminded Dave of dock laborers or loiterers. They were big and sturdy, and as Dave stretched out and showed signs of life, one of them remarked gruffly.
We'll soon know all about them because they're coming straight to us. They're descending now into this field." The Arrow slanted gently to the earth and the larger machine descended near by. Lannes stepped out of one, and an older man, whom John recognized as the aviator Caumartin, alighted from the other. "My friends," said Lannes, cheerily, "here we are again.
This extraordinary invention is curiously reminiscent of the fact chronicled in earlier chapters of this book that the most modern airplanes are so built that should the aviator become insensible or incapacitated for his work, if he will but drop the controls, the machine will adjust itself and make its own landing in safety.
There was a world-famous aviator, who had gone back on his marriage promise that he would abandon his aerial adventures. He was hurrying to join the French Flying Corps. He and his young wife used to play deck-tennis every morning as lightheartedly as if they were travelling to Europe for a lark. In my many accusations of these men's indifference I never accused them of courage.
