There would certainly be a gain of rapidity. attempt of another kind was made in 1794, at the battle of Fleurus, where General Jourdan made use of the services of a balloonist to observe and give notice of the movements of the Austrians.
If it was Andy Foger I could understand it, but a man like Berg " "He's probably wild with anger because his submarine got the worst of it in the race for the gold," interrupted the balloonist. "Well, we'll have to be on our guard, that's all. What was the matter with Eradicate, that he didn't see him enter the shop?" "Rad went to a colored dance that night," said Tom. "I let him off.
Bless my knife and fork but it certainly is wonderful." Mr. Sharp relieved Tom at the wheel, while the young inventor ate, and then, with the airship heading southwest, the speed was increased a trifle, the balloonist desiring to see what the motor could accomplish under a heavy load. A drop of several hundred feet was made about an hour later, and, as this made it warmer, Mr.
"Is everything all right?" asked Mr Swift as he went into the engine-room, where Garret Jackson and Mr. Sharp were busy with oil cans. "Everything," replied the balloonist. "Are you going to start now?" "Yes, we're deep enough for a speed trial. We'll go out to sea, however, and try for a lower depth record, as soon as there's enough water. Start the engine."
Tom started to trace them, and incidentally he raced and beat Andy Foger, a rich bully. On their way down the lake, after the robbery, Tom, his father and Ned Newton, Tom's chum, saw a man hanging from the trapeze of a blazing balloon over Lake Carlopa. The balloonist was Mr. John Sharp and he was rescued by Tom in a thrilling fashion.
But at night, after the last 'bus has ceased to ply, and before the market carts begin lumbering in, the balloonist, as he sails over the town, might imagine that he was traversing a City of the Dead. It is at such times that a shout through a speaking trumpet has a most startling effect, and more particularly a blast on a horn.
"Celebrated balloonist," says he, "and the man that invented parachutes. They eat out of his hand." "Where is he?" asts I. "How should I know?" he says. "How is he going up, then?" I asts. The doctor chuckles and says it is a good bill, a better bill than he thought; that it is getting in its work already. He says to me to read it careful and see if it says Alonzo Ackerman is going up.
With one look upward to the burning mass above him and a glance downward to the lake, the aeronaut let go his hold. Like a shot he came down, holding his body rigid and straight as a stick, for he knew how to fall into water, did that balloonist. Tom Swift was ready for him.
King's property from Dave, a graceless youth named Gregg, was found, and the property recovered. He had also got hold of some papers that belonged to Dave's father. Gregg through these had obtained a trace of a Mr. Dale, a great friend of the dead balloonist. He had made Mr. Dale believe he was the real Dave Dashaway, until he was unmasked.
The balloonist, it may be explained, had been invited to live with the Swifts pending the completion of the airship. "Do you think we'll get on the right track if we put the needle valve in?" asked Tom, as he noted with satisfaction that the damage from the explosion was not great. "I'm sure we will," answered the aeronaut. "Now let's make another model container, and try the gas again."
