42344And the damages?
42344Are you not afraid?
42344Can not you yield to accomplished facts? 42344 Do we dare strike matches in the basket of a spherical balloon?"
42344Do we even permit ourselves the solace of a cigarette on trips that last for many hours?
42344Does a fish float on the surface? 42344 Have you been much in the sun, Luis?"
42344Or why should not circular blocks of wood be fixed at the four corners of the drag?... 42344 Pedro,"said Luis,"do you remember your objections to my waggon wheels?"
42344Pedro,said Luis,"will not men some day invent a ship to sail in the sky?"
42344Shall you come to the review in it?
42344Then why should I be in need of gas?
42344These round things?
42344What am I going to see and know in a few minutes? 42344 What country is this?"
42344What is coming next?
42344What navigates the water? 42344 What screw propeller could hold a course against it?
42344What would you have?
42344What would you suggest?
42344Why not devise a better means of transport than the backs of horses and of oxen?
42344With smoke coming from fire in it, as from the locomotive?
42344Would you have the courage to be taken up in the free air- ship with no one holding its guide rope?
42344You want to make an ascent?
42344...."To the locomotive engine?"
42344...."To the steamboat?"
4234412] How is this danger to be met?
4234415]"Can we not give you some gas?"
423447"] How is this interior pressure maintained without being exceeded?
423449,"I asked:"Does any little boy want to go up?"
42344And before my experiments succeeded, were they not all called impossible?
42344And of these 26 arriving at Berlin how many do you imagine made the trip without serious accident?
42344And what would there be to prevent the power waggon slipping off the rails even then?"
42344And your wheels-- do you imagine they would take hold of so liquid a thing as water?"
42344And, breaking, might it not explode?
42344Are you sure you have the courage?
42344Did I need anything?
42344Do the cords commanding rudder, motor, water ballast, and the shifting guide rope work freely?
42344Does man fly?
42344Does man fly?
42344Does not the final condemnation of the common- sense Pedro continue to weigh on me?
42344Does the bird fly?
42344Does the bird fly?
42344Free from the steadying influence of the solid ground, would the jumping motor jar itself until it broke?
42344Had I not let out gas?
42344Has man ever accomplished anything worth having except by combating Nature?
42344How could I justify the spending of it to my parents?
42344How shall I describe it?
42344I cried:"Have I won?"
42344I quote from it as a matter of curiosity:"... Do you remember the time, my dear Alberto, when we played together''Pigeon flies!''?
42344I said to myself:"What has the rigidity of the balloon''s form to do with danger from a petroleum motor?
42344In spite of their great simplicity my air- ships require constant surveillance on a few capital heads: Is the balloon properly filled?
42344In the first place, why should one not light a match in the basket of a spherical balloon?
42344Is the ballast properly weighed?
42344Is the motor in condition?
42344Is the rigging in condition?
42344Is there any possibility of a leak?
42344Now is it not curious that those troublesome shifting sieves were the only machines at the coffee works that were not rotary?
42344SHOWING RELATIVE SIZE]"You saw me coming all the way from Neuilly,"I replied;"did I throw out any ballast?"
42344Tell me, Pedro, how did you come to decide in favour of the bird as against the balloon?"

42344What ought to give way first?
42344What shall I say?
42344What was to be done?
42344What would mine do in its little basket, that weighed almost nothing, and suspended from a balloon that weighed less than nothing?
42344Whom shall I see after I am dead?"
42344Why have I sought to win prizes?
42344Why was the balloon fluttering an empty end and causing all this extra danger?
42344Will the air- ship be able to rise out of rifle range?
42344Will the answer come in German, Russian, or Norwegian?
42344Would it continually jerk and pull at the silk hems and the thin rods which were to hold my basket to the balloon?
42344Would it jar the interior air balloon''s pump and derange the big balloon''s valves?
42344Would not the guide rope at least curl itself around some tree and hold us there for hours?
42344You know the principle of these motors?
42344[ Illustration: THE HOUSETOPS LOOK SO DANGEROUS]"What if I should fall?"
45490Ai n''t there something I can do?
45490And did he-- could he?
45490And did you build electrical things too?
45490And some of the ice pillars will do for anchor posts to knot the ropes a-- Hi, what''s that?
45490And you''re countin''on that high- sittin''wire to pick up music out of the air for you?
45490But the Nardak? 45490 Do you think I could help you upstairs?"
45490Eh, what''s that now?
45490Hey, Pompey,the boy held out his best silk necktie,"how about trading me those skins for this?"
45490Hi, be you man or devil?
45490How-- how''d you ever find us so quick?
45490I can, ca n''t I, ma?
45490I-- I-- how will I ever thank you?
45490In trouble? 45490 Is it the-- the end?
45490Know anything about batteries?
45490Oh, Marse Gem, is you kilt?
45490Radio? 45490 Renaud of the Radio, do you want to go to the Arctic?"
45490Renaud of the Radio, do you want to go to the Arctic?
45490Renaud-- up about Foyn-- are you on the air? 45490 Say, you, ai n''t you coming?"
45490Scared?
45490Scotty,queried Lee, looking out over the limitless stretches of broken, drifting white,"how big is this sea we are in?"
45490The glass wheel-- you never saw anything like it before, eh?
45490The radio- room, eh? 45490 Uncle Gem,"he questioned,"why is a little chain hung from the fur cushions so as to just dangle down against the floor-- what''s it good for?"
45490Want to know something about that?
45490We can come again, huh, ca n''t we?
45490What and all you going to do with this here power you are getting out of the air?
45490What for be you rigged up to scare honest folk out of the road?
45490What for? 45490 What for?"
45490What has happened? 45490 What is it?
45490What is it? 45490 What''s the matter?
45490Wonder if I could make electricity with it?
45490You ain''t-- you ai n''t sorter scared?
45490You gonner let us see it all-- what you gonner show to Jimmy? 45490 Ah-- a word with you, Captain?
45490All right, young man,"motioning Lee to follow,"want to see this''cigar''of mine at close quarters?"
45490And like a miracle sweeping over that yellow torrent, a sound came to him in the receiver:"Renaud?
45490And now this mysterious call,"F- O- Y- N."Did that call hold the answer to the dark riddle of the lost ship?
45490And now would this simple mechanism transmit sound for more than the few yards for which it had been tested thus far?
45490And should the Nardak still be safe, and navigable, how would her searching crew ever find the castaways, three minute dots on the vast sheet of ice?
45490Anyhow, Jimmy Bobb allowed he wanted to set eyes on you, and I come to take you to him--""Jimmy Bobb, who''s he?
45490Atmospheric condition-- disaster-- storm, who could tell what?
45490But how could they get help-- how let people know of their perilous position?
45490But of what?
45490But why-- what did it mean?
45490CHAPTER V TAPS"What''s this?
45490CHAPTER VII HARNESSING LIGHTNING POWER"Aiming for to go up to Renaud''s?"
45490CHAPTER VIII COMPRESSED POWER"How far a piece you goner take it?"
45490Can she make it?"
45490Did n''t it work?
45490Did n''t you get that?"
45490Do n''t you hear the buzzer?"
45490Do n''t you know a gunshot when you hear one?"
45490From within the cabin, Granger''s weak voice called fretfully, wanting to know what the shouting was, what was happening?
45490Got the sound, but it was distorted, like the singer was yelling out of the side of his mouth--""You''ve made radio, huh?
45490Had anyone heard it?
45490Had the dirigible caught fire, or was this merely a smoke signal?
45490Had the silver hull of the Nardak gone up in flames?
45490He had been hoping to experiment some with electricity himself, but what had he out here to work with?
45490He had infantile para-- para something--""Paralysis, was it?"
45490He was in touch with something-- but what, where?
45490How are we found?"
45490How can we hope?"
45490How could the great ship smash through to the tiny island without sinking it?
45490How could the monster heave in to them without drowning them?
45490How do you hitch all those little signs up so that they mean something on an instrument?"
45490How in Kingdom Come was he, who knew so little about electricity, going to explain it to a fellow who knew even less?
45490Huh?"
45490I thought it was housed in here?"
45490In the dark silence beyond the open window, what manner of fiend was waiting to shoot down innocent people?
45490Is that all there is to it?"
45490It makes bright lights and runs telephones and street cars and talking machines--""How might a street car look?
45490It would be all right, would n''t it?"
45490Lee raced to the door and flung himself inside, shouting,"Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?"
45490New station, eh?
45490Now, young man, do you see?"
45490Or was that wavering smoke line a beacon, lighted by their shipmates where they had landed?
45490Over there, could he believe his eyes?
45490Rather far extremes, eh?
45490Receiver, or transmitter?"
45490Say that this wire came all the way back from Birmingham and connected with the other pole of my battery, what would that make?"
45490Say, want to go to the hotel first or straight out to the Nardak''s hangar?"
45490Suppose a tempest rolled up, drove their ice field hither and yon on the sea, smashed and ground it to pieces?
45490Suppose he were dead?
45490Suppose he were in his coffin?
45490Suppose the new acid- treated plates worked no better than the old ones?
45490Tele-- telephone, what''s that?"
45490That you?
45490The shutters of the next room were flung open and Great- uncle Gem''s voice rang out angrily,"What you up to on that roof?
45490This shooting-- must have been that old fool, Johnny Poolak-- taking another shot at the glass wheel--""Sh- shooting at the wheel?"
45490Want to go for the ride?"
45490Was n''t that the engine slowing, the pilot"cutting the gun"for a swoop to their floe?
45490Was that a stealthy padding, a footstep-- was he being followed?
45490What could be the end?
45490What did it all mean?
45490What did it mean?
45490What do you know about magnets and magnetism and electromagnets?"
45490What do you think of your first ride in a dirigible?"
45490What does he want with me?"
45490What had happened?
45490What hope could they have?
45490What if they did ever reach that barren, ice- sheathed island?
45490What is it?"
45490What makes it act all alive?"
45490What was this gang up to?
45490What would happen in this unexplored land?
45490What would the end be?
45490What''s that you''re up to?"
45490What''s the matter?"
45490What''s this?"
45490Where are you?"
45490Where''s the hammer, the chisel?"
45490Who are you, brother?
45490Who wants to join this mighty organization?"
45490Who''s in trouble?
45490Why had he forced himself to live?
45490Why had n''t he let himself go in that first quick, merciful stupor?
45490Will she capsize?"
45490Wires had to be soldered-- but with what?
45490Wonder if we can mount them now?"
45490Would Renaud go?
45490Would he ever be able to send another?
45490Would this sagging, sinking building last much longer?
45490You do n''t really mean to leave it?"
45490You-- you hear me?
45490gasped the worn, emaciated Captain Jan."The miracle?
48252Any of the men on the roof?
48252Are we high enough?
48252Are you right, sonny?
48252Brought here by Pete and Whipple?
48252But in bad weather? 48252 But what can we do, mate, if the detectives are all aback and not able to find a trace of her?
48252Ca n''t we both go down in your parachute?
48252Cliff, do you know I''ve always suspected that that fellow Moise did n''t treat your mother squarely?
48252Did you get the letter all right, Carl?
48252Did you have Brady?
48252Did you write a letter to Motor Matt and send it to him in care of the Lestrange Garage, there in Chicago?
48252Do what?
48252Do you know where they went?
48252Don''d I chenerally ged vatefer I go afder, Matt?
48252Don''d I know dot? 48252 For vy you knock me ofer to ged avay den, oof you come pack?"
48252Have n''t you any gratitude for what Helen did for you?
48252Have n''t you heard how he accomplished that?
48252Have you got the nerve to climb up there--pointing aloft--"and cut the cover?"
48252He gave it to you and helped you get away?
48252He''s clever as ever,returned Ferral,"but what''s his dodge?"
48252How did you learn all this, Brady?
48252How did you manage to wake up?
48252How do you feel, Carl?
48252How ye goin''ter find out anythin''more? 48252 How''s it to be done?
48252How''s that?
48252If not, why did he try to get away?
48252Is he an officer?
48252Is that automobile there?
48252Is that you, Glennie?
48252Is that you, King?
48252Is the Hawk in shape for a get- away?
48252Is there nothing else we can do?
48252Left them there, eh? 48252 Meppy I pedder go mit you, hey?
48252Miss Brady was spirited away by Pete and Whipple?
48252Now where in the blazes did you see Harris? 48252 Pete and Whipple, helped by a man named Hooligan, got the girl away from her friends in Chicago, and----""How did they do it?"
48252Pete and Whipple?
48252Say, sonny, can you climb up here?
48252She''s badly shaken up, is n''t she?
48252Then you and I ca n''t go down together?
48252To look for the loot?
48252Useful?
48252Vat''s der madder, anyvay?
48252Vat''s dot?
48252Vat''s oop, now, Harris?
48252Vere dit you come from?
48252What about the Hooligans, chief?
48252What ails you, old ship?
48252What are we going to do now?
48252What business has Hagenmyer got with you?
48252What did you bring us here for?
48252What did you find in the old quarry? 48252 What do you mean by firing at us?"
48252What do you say to that, Brady?
48252What do you think of this for luck? 48252 What do you think that means?"
48252What good does that do? 48252 What happened, matey?"
48252What have you found out?
48252What of it?
48252What sort of a two- faced scoundrel is this Hooligan, that he helps criminals in such work?
48252What sort of trouble will it be?
48252What would I want to write a letter to Motor Matt for?
48252What ye goin''ter do?
48252What''ll happen, then?
48252What''re we going to do with the Hawk, mate?
48252What''s run afoul of you, mate?
48252What''s that?
48252What''s the matter?
48252What''s the trouble, Harris?
48252What''s up here?
48252What''s your proposition?
48252Where are Pete and Whipple?
48252Where are they?
48252Where did you capture Brady?
48252Where did you find out anything?
48252Where did you get that uniform?
48252Where''s Dave Glennie?
48252Where''s it from, matey?
48252Where''s the house?
48252Who are you?
48252Who did you think I was? 48252 Who knows but some of her father''s gang are mixed up in her disappearance?
48252Who told you?
48252Who''s goin''ter tip off our game?
48252Who''s this Hagenmyer, mate?
48252Why did he get up and dust if he was playing square with us? 48252 Why did you use Dave Glennie''s name?"
48252Why should Brady be writin''ter King? 48252 Why, that pesky Brady has escaped from the''pen''at Joliet, and----""Escaped?"
48252Will you come along with us, Harris?
48252You de feller dey calls Motor Matt?
48252You do?
48252You''re Dave Glennie, are you?
48252You''ve been working on that Helen Brady case, have n''t you?
48252Your name King?
48252Anything?"
48252Are you and your chums going to try to get to New York with the Hawk, Matt?"
48252But how did those fellows come to give you the slip like they did, Harris?
48252But how did you get here?"
48252But how''s one man going to manage the thing?"
48252But where was she?
48252Can I count on you?
48252Can you manage the team and Brady, too, as far as the town?"
48252Can you see Miss Brady?"
48252Carey?"
48252Caspar''s house, in River Forest----""You know the house, do n''t you, Harris?"
48252Changed?
48252Did n''t he say he''d give himself up if you''d head the Hawk for La Grange and help rescue the girl?
48252Did ye ever think o''that?
48252Do n''t you think so, old ship?"
48252Do n''t you think there''s something awfully queer about Moise''s face?
48252Do you suppose I''d have come here alone if I''d wanted to rough things with you?"
48252Eh, Matt?"
48252Eh, Matt?"
48252Good heavens, boys, do you think I''d have taken all these chances unless there was the biggest kind of a demand on me?"
48252Had we better go back there, Whipple?
48252How are we headed?"
48252How did you come here?"
48252How does he get them?
48252How far would they carry their murderous threats?
48252I know, from experience, that the Hawk will do well on a short voyage, but will she hold out for such a long journey as that?"
48252I thought I heerd ye yell that ye''d put King down an''out?"
48252I wonder if you understand what that means to you, Matt?"
48252I wonder what they hope to gain by such work?"
48252If Brady, Jr., is mixed up in this, matey, what right have we got to interfere?
48252If Pete and Whipple should show up and lay hands on the Hawk----""How can they do that if they went off in the automobile?"
48252If it comes to that, who knows but the girl is with her father now?
48252Is n''t it good of him?"
48252Is your name Hooligan?"
48252Keen?"
48252Not a bad''spec,''eh?"
48252Say, matey, where''s your head?
48252Sell her?
48252Suppose you go back to those two trees near the quarry and wait there for me?
48252Then, catching sight of Clifford,"And what are you doing here?"
48252Then, if something about the automobile does n''t break, it will be good- by to our hopes of----""What are you doing, Matt?"
48252Ve got to do somet''ing mit der air ship, but vat it iss?
48252We got a chance yet, d''ye hear?
48252We''ve been hung up here for two weeks, old ship, and what good has it done us?"
48252What are they trying to do?"
48252What are you bringing there, Matt?"
48252What d''ye s''pose he was doin''here?"
48252What d''ye think them dubs is up to?"
48252What did I tell you?"
48252What do you think of that?
48252What happened to you, Matt?
48252What message are you going to send to Atlantic City, Matt?"
48252What name''s signed to the message, Matt?"
48252What sort of underhand work was going on?
48252What will you do now?"
48252What''s he up to now, I wonder?
48252What''s the matter with you?"
48252Where do the chances come in?
48252Where''s the other swab?"
48252Why did Harris pull out and leave me?"
48252Why should they do it if it was n''t to get hold of that buried loot?
48252Will you help out the authorities by taking the Hawk so far away that Brady ca n''t have any designs on her?"
48252You came here and wrote that forged letter?"
48252You efer haf dot, Verral?"
48252You remember how anxious Harris was to keep her out of the hands of any of Brady''s gang?
48252You want to take the Hawk to the place in La Grange where Hooligan and his wife live?"
48252You wo n''t try to stay here any longer, will you?"
48252and here Ferral''s eyes wandered to the road,"who''s that steering this way?
48252cried Whipple, overtaking Pete as he was legging it for the canal,"what ye runnin''fer?"
48402Ai n''t the work about all finished? 48402 All right?"
48402And mebby get spotted and captured ourselves, eh?
48402And where''s the_ Grampus_?
48402Are you hurt, Matt?
48402Before we do that,said Matt,"why ca n''t we finish up this work for him?"
48402But does he know enough to run the craft?
48402But if we strike rough weather?
48402But what did they stay for?
48402But why has Jurgens gone to all this trouble?
48402Ca n''t ye tell by lookin''at it?
48402Ca n''t you get back the boat in some way?
48402Can we cross a hundred miles of ocean and nose out a little turtle- back in all that raft of islands and keys?
48402Can we do it, matey?
48402Can you repair the Hawk here?
48402Can you tell me where the_ Crescent_ is?
48402Cassidy''s my name,was the breathless answer;"and who are you?"
48402Coming up?
48402Did you get her away from Jurgens?
48402Did you get him, McMillan?
48402Did you go to Atlantic City with Jurgens''moving- picture outfit?
48402Ditn''t you see der dog?
48402Do you know anything about navigation, Dick? 48402 Dot''s vere ve vas going, eh?"
48402Had the paper he took from you,queried Matt,"anything to do with his trip to the Bahamas?"
48402Have you any idea what became of Jurgens and Whistler?
48402He has made himself a thief and a fugitive, and what does he hope to gain by it?
48402Helping me?
48402How I know you vas daking some mooting bictures?
48402How am I to get the lights turned on, Cassidy? 48402 How can ve do dot?"
48402How did Jurgens come to stop at this island?
48402How did he see the flag if the_ Grampus_ was under water?
48402How do you explain that, matey?
48402How do you feel?
48402How long a trip is it?
48402How many men did Jurgens have on the submarine with him?
48402How many men did Jurgens leave on this boat?
48402How much are you making, here in Atlantic City?
48402How much will that be?
48402How vas dot?
48402How you findt out vere ve vas mit dis?
48402How you know dot?
48402How''d you get here?
48402How''ll that save him?
48402How''s Jurgens heading?
48402How''s that?
48402How''s the wind?
48402I suppose you know, Cassidy,observed Matt,"why Jurgens stole the_ Grampus_?"
48402I vonder oof ve vas coming pack any more?
48402I vonder vat Downsent vill t''ink ven he don''d see us coming pack like vat he expects?
48402If there''s no timber on the island,spoke up Dick,"how are we going to moor the Hawk?
48402If you ca n''t go to Turtle Key,said Matt, quietly,"why ca n''t the rest of us go?
48402Is Captain Nemo, Jr., helping you in this game you''re playing?
48402Is that red ball on top of the staff the periscope?
48402Is that where she lies when she''s tied up?
48402Is that you, Cassidy?
48402Iss dere any vay ve can go dere mitoudt trafeling ofer der ocean?
48402Iss dere pread fruit und odder dropical t''ings on der island?
48402Meppy ve could patch oop der hole, but vere ve going to ged some more gas to fill der pag oop again?
48402Ready?
48402Shall we wait here any longer,inquired Matt,"or start back to Atlantic City?
48402Supposed I knew what?
48402That interferes with our speed, I suppose?
48402That you, Dick?
48402That''s pretty good, eh, Whistler?
48402That''s your game is it?
48402The air ship?
48402The_ Grampus_?
48402Then why go back to Atlantic City?
48402Townsend?
48402Vat do you subbose i d iss dot Misder Downsent vants mit us?
48402Vat good vill it do to safe der air ship, Matt?
48402Vat''s der madder mit you?

48402Vere you vas, Matt?
48402We ai n''t tellin''anything we know an''you ai n''t findin''anything out, see? 48402 Well, before we congratulate ourselves too much, suppose we make sure of the prisoners we have?
48402Well,said Cassidy,"if that''s how you stand we''ll let it go at that; but had n''t we better be thinkin''of gettin''back to Palm Beach?
48402What about it?
48402What are we going to do, Matt?
48402What are we to do now, matey? 48402 What business have you got interfering here?"
48402What caused the leak? 48402 What did you bring Holcomb and me into the submarine for?
48402What did you want to butt into our picture for?
48402What do you mean by making prisoners of us, like this?
48402What do you mean by that?
48402What do you mean by treating me like this?
48402What is it, Carl?
48402What is it?
48402What was that?
48402What''s going on, mate?
48402What''s he been doing?
48402What''s he done? 48402 What''s his notion for heading out into the ocean, I wonder?"
48402What''s that, matey?
48402What''s that?
48402What''s the matter, Carl?
48402What''s the matter, here?
48402What''s the matter?
48402What''s the name of the boat? 48402 What''s this?"
48402Whatever was the matter with the engine?
48402When did you first see the_ Grampus_, Dick?
48402When do you want to start?
48402Where are we, Matt?
48402Where did the chest come from?
48402Where do you think we are, Holcomb?
48402Where is McMillan? 48402 Where is it, Mr. Townsend,"asked Dick,"on the eastern or western side of the group?"
48402Where is the leak?
48402Where''d you come from?
48402Where''s Holcomb?
48402Where''s that man you picked up off the Heinz pier?
48402Who are you?
48402Who you vas galling a Dutch lopsder?
48402Who''s doing the shooting, Dick?
48402Why am I to do that?
48402Why do we want to look for a ship?
48402Why not lay them by the heels, matey?
48402You and Matt own the Hawk together, do n''t you, Ferral?
48402You don''d care nodding for dot?
48402You think that''s all a yarn for the marines, eh?
48402You vill sic some more dogs on me, vill you, Churgens? 48402 You were looking for a cave, eh?"
48402You''re going to put us ashore?
48402You''re the longest- headed chap in the bunch, and suppose Carl and I leave the decision entirely with you?
48402You''re the men who captured the_ Grampus_ in the Inlet at Atlantic City, are you?
48402And what was she doing there?
48402But for vy has der_ Grambus_ come here ven she iss due at Durtle Islandt?
48402But how was Matt to be sent to the surface?
48402But the point that''s bothering me is, Holcomb, why were we brought here?"
48402But what would his captors have to gain by a move of that kind?
48402But where had the boat come from?
48402But, tell me, what did you think of Townsend''s boat?
48402Ca n''t you see how it will be?"
48402Can they do that?
48402Can you make it out?"
48402Can you swim?"
48402Can you take a chronometer and a sextant and figure out latitude and longitude?"
48402Dere''s no gedding aroundt dot, eh?"
48402Did you find Cassidy, Burke and Harris, Matt?"
48402Did you find anything else on the island, Carl?"
48402Do you know?"
48402Had the crew of the_ Crescent_ resorted to violence in order to save Jurgens from capture?
48402Has somet''ing gone wrong mit Jurgens''galguladions?"
48402Have you any idea where they are?"
48402Have you any notion, Matt?"
48402How are you going to send me to the surface?"
48402How do you think he managed to escape from that island, Matt?"
48402How far away is it, Dick?"
48402How''d you ever manage to do it?"
48402I guess they''d have jailed Carl if it had n''t been for Mr. Townsend----""The Townsend we had with us on the last trip?"
48402I vonder vas it Captain Kitt vat put der chest in der cafe?
48402Is Nemo, Jr., with you, Motor Matt?"
48402LUCK-- OR ILL- LUCK?
48402LUCK-- OR ILL- LUCK?

48402Still, what can we do?

48402What could we possibly do on a sand hill in the middle of the ocean?
48402What did you kick over that dago''s cart for?"
48402What do you say?"
48402What will you do now?"
48402What''s this?"
48402Where are Burke and Harris, Cassidy?"
48402Where are we, Dick?"
48402Where did the men come from and where did they go?"
48402Where''s Carl?"
48402Why did n''t you leave us on the wharf?"
48402Why not change our course?
48402Will the twenty- five hundred I have paid you be enough for your time and trouble?"
48402Would that have been possible?"
48402You ditn''t make mooch ven you grabbed dot baper of Downsent''s und run off mit it, hey?"
48402asked Matt, getting to his feet;"good luck or bad?"
48402demanded Matt;"what have I got to do with your plans?"
48402exclaimed Cassidy,"did n''t you hear about that?
48402queried Dick;"what brought them here?"
48591A bullet?
48591A dead ringer for him?
48591Aber vill he make goot mit vat he says?
48591Ai n''t I telling you?
48591Am I daffy,he murmured,"or is this the coat I saw swinging over the side of the chug- chug wagon?
48591And I dodged Davy Jones, after shaking hands with him?
48591And where is Jurgens, Whistler, Bangs and the others who helped them commit the robbery?
48591And you watched Townsend, after that?
48591Are the diamonds in that bag, Dash?
48591Are-- are these the diamonds?
48591But are they_ all_ there?
48591But how did they know I was going to send the diamonds to the woman in St. Charles Avenue to- night? 48591 By having Motor Matt come at night, and come the back way, the spy wo n''t see him, will he?"
48591Ca n''t you read, you idiot?
48591Can I pelieve vat I see mit my eyes, Tick, or haf I got der plind shtaggers?
48591Can it be possible that I have been so terribly deceived in that fellow who called himself the Man from Cape Town? 48591 Could n''t you tell that the fellow was n''t me, Cassidy?"
48591D''you feel strong enough, cap''n, to have more visitors?
48591Did I?
48591Did n''t you read my letter?
48591Did you get''em?
48591Do the Americans always cheer an enemy?
48591Do you know positively,asked Matt,"that Jurgens is in this vicinity?"
48591Do you see this?
48591Don''d you see nodding?
48591Dot iss pedder dan to be gloomed oop so mooch, hey?

48591Have you any idea who fired that shot?
48591Have you any money?
48591Have you tied the rope securely, up there?
48591He must be there now, do n''t you think?
48591How did Motor Matt know where we had gone?
48591How did you know Jurgens, Whistler and Bangs were coming to this place?
48591How did you know?
48591How did you make out, Dashington?
48591How much do you think these diamonds are worth?
48591How so?
48591How was he dressed?
48591How''d you like to ride back to New Orleans in Jurgens''automobile?
48591How''ll ve get der pupple?

48591If we do n''t, I''d look pretty asking you to pull the pin on me, would n''t I? 48591 Is she looking for me to come?"
48591Is that you, Matt?
48591Is your position a safe one, Carl?
48591Iss dere some obenings for more as one, Misder Downsent?
48591It''s the last shot in the locker, and who knows but that it may be just the thing for us to do? 48591 King, eh?"
48591Mayhap the Jurgens outfit are in there?
48591Meppy der feller Matt iss vatching vill see you do dot?

48591Want me to make a song out of it and set it to music? 48591 Was there a man across the street spying on the house when you looked last?"
48591We''re alive, old chap,replied Matt,"and that ought to be enough, do n''t you think, considering what we''ve been through?"
48591Well?
48591Well?
48591What did Townsend say?
48591What do you call yourself,_ now_?
48591What do you mean by bringing him here?
48591What for?
48591What good would that do? 48591 What happened to the letter?"
48591What is it?
48591What letter are you talking about?
48591What luck?
48591What now, I wonder?
48591What reason have I to go into the detective business?
48591What time is it, Cassidy?
48591What was the shooting about?
48591What''s going on here, Matt?
48591What''s it for?
48591What''s that?
48591What''s the matter?
48591What''s the trouble, pards?
48591What''s the trouble?
48591What''s the use of doubles, anyhow?
48591What''s up?
48591What''s wrong, Cassidy?
48591What''s wrong?
48591Where are Jurgens, and Whistler, and Bangs?
48591Where are those diamonds?
48591Where are you from?
48591Where are you going, King, from here?
48591Where are you going, from here?
48591Where''n thunder did that yell come from?
48591Where''s Dick?
48591Where''s the letter?
48591Who are you?
48591Who can run the thing, Matt?
48591Who can they be and what do they want?
48591Who else but some of that sure- thing crowd?
48591Who he vas, do you t''ink?
48591Who is he?
48591Whose automobile is this, Jurgens?
48591Why ca n''t you go on to New Orleans, Dash?
48591Why did n''t you leave town when Townsend let you go, that other time?
48591Why not bear away in the air ship to Bayou Yamousa?
48591Why not cut out the crooked work and be decent?
48591Why not go in for submarines?
48591Why the bogus wind teasers? 48591 Why, did n''t you know that?"
48591Wrecked?
48591You allowed him to go?
48591You and Carl are all right?
48591You got the diamonds?
48591You say you wrote that letter?
48591You stole the diamonds?
48591You vas looking, eh?
48591You wanted me to take the diamonds to the daughter of the Man from Cape Town?
48591You will pinch me, eh?
48591You''re going to stay straight, are you?
48591Added missing quote before"It might have been some superstitious...."Page 19, changed"anway"to"anyway"("What do you think of yourself, anyway?
48591And I have your promise to stay in town for a week?"
48591And had it reached its mark?
48591And how long after that before the law would be called in to do what it could toward overhauling the thieves and recovering the diamonds?
48591And then the talk that goes with it is some fine, do n''t you think?
48591And why did n''t you wait until midnight?"
48591Anything else, Townsend?"
48591Are ve going to hit der air route?"
48591At whom had the shot been fired?
48591Before he could answer, Townsend burst out:"Were you here a few minutes ago, Matt?
48591Besides, who''d change this air flying for anything else under heaven?
48591But if it was one of the robbers, why do n''t he show himself?"
48591But what''s the diff?
48591But where''s the balloonobile, the flying wonder that has shaken the Crescent City from centre to circumference, and clear across to Algiers?
48591But, supposing that was Jurgens''game, would n''t it be a good thing for us to come close to the thieves?
48591But, tell me, whose game of muggins is this, and what''s the stake?
48591Ca n''t we use it some way and get a strangle hold on a basket of rocks?
48591Can you make a guess as to who it was?"
48591Carl finds it-- and maybe we''re not all to the good?
48591Could it be possible that this was a"straight tip,"and not a hoax?
48591Did n''t think Jurgens would do it, did you?
48591Did you have on other clothes, and did I give you the diamonds?
48591Do n''t you think we''d better rush this business?
48591Do you catch my drift?"
48591Do you feel equal to it?"
48591Do you see an opening anywhere among the trees, Dick?
48591Do-- do you t''ink he vas deadt, Matt?"
48591Gee, but would n''t it uppercut you, the way we resemble each other?
48591Have one?"
48591He may have_ looked_ like me, but did he act, or talk, as I do?
48591Honest, though, I''m no understudy for a low card, am I?"
48591How can you blame yourselves when every one else took this double of mine just as you did?"
48591How did you happen to be handy by and willing to give me a lift?"
48591How long would it be before Motor Matt reached the house in Prytania Street?
48591How much do I pull down?"
48591How ve vas going to gif him der ledder, hey?"
48591How''d you like to get your lunch hooks on that bag of sparks?
48591I had best begin in South Africa where----""South Africa?"
48591I suppose that happened when you took to cigarettes?"
48591I suppose you will take that automobile to the police department and leave it with them to be turned over to the firm to whom it belongs?"
48591I suppose,"he went on, shifting the subject,"that the English detective will see that Jurgens gets the full extent of the law?"
48591I think this rig I''ve put on''ll fool anybody across the street, eh?
48591I''ll bet eight big iron louies you never once suspected me of dropping that letter in the mails; and yet, who else was there for you to suspect?
48591Iss he on der groundt?
48591It ca n''t be, mates, that I dropped clear through that tree and hit the ground?
48591Meanwhile, may I ask you to remain in New Orleans, at my expense, for that length of time?"
48591Now some one asks where and how is Spanish cedar obtained?
48591Oof anyt''ing has habbened mit Tick----""Dick?"
48591Or Bangs?
48591Or Whistler?
48591See any rope near you, Carl?"
48591Suppose only one of them goes?
48591The question is, how are we to do it?"
48591Then what, Motor Matt?"
48591Townsend did n''t give you a hint as to what he wanted me for?"
48591Townsend is sick a- bed----""Sick?"
48591Townsend?"
48591Townsend?"
48591Townsend?"
48591Vas I righdt?"
48591Was I down?
48591What are we going to do?
48591What did that fellow say when he came here?"
48591What do you expect of us?"
48591What do you think of yourself, anyway?
48591What do you think?"
48591What''s come over the old ship to do like that?"
48591What''s in the letter?
48591What''s our next move, Matt?
48591What''s that?
48591What''s the answer?"
48591What''s your graft, anyhow?
48591Where did they get hold of a young fellow who looks so astonishingly like you to help them in their villainous schemes?"
48591Where did you go?"
48591Where have you been?"
48591Who was it shot at the air ship?
48591Who was that?"
48591Why did n''t you come the back way, as I told Carl and Dick to tell you?
48591Why do n''t you square away and look on the bright side?
48591Why not break away from the swift game and take a job at five per, with three honest square meals and a place to bunk?
48591Why the gun?"
48591Why was that?
48591Why?"
48591Will that pay for letting me start for unknown regions, and then doing the nice, genteel dip for the rest of the time I''m on earth?"
48591Will you promise?"
48591You''ve heard of the bank that broke the man at Monte Carlo?
48591gurgled Dashington,"so it''s a benzine buggy for ours, eh?
48591he inquired,"or have we reached the place we''re going?"
48591mumbled Dashington,"would n''t that give your thinker a twist?
45546And suppose I should tell you on my word of honor that the riches are buried here, right here in this hangar, where would_ I_ be?
45546And the folks will say,''What did you do with yourself when you was n''t flyin''?'' 45546 And they says,"murmured Hank,"they says''Whatcher got on?''
45546And you, Lawrence?
45546Any sign of any other balloon?
45546Are we going to stay here in these woods?
45546Are you my mother, dear?
45546Are you working at the Field yet, Brown?
45546Both_ what_?
45546Boys, ye see the welts here and here?
45546Bring O''Brien?
45546But ca n''t you ask him something or other that only O''Brien would know?
45546But what if she does n''t like me? 45546 Ca n''t you remember the name of the people?"
45546Did I ever fail you?
45546Did ye never hear now the great impartance of takin''the lasht slice uf bread on the plate? 45546 Do n''t you suppose he ai n''t got no folks?
45546Do n''t you think we had better get them to the hospital at once?
45546Do n''t you want to go up?
45546Do you men want to look around the city for an hour or so?
45546Do you specially mind when you start?
45546Do you want to talk?
45546Dressed like that, sittin''in an auto?
45546Duck? 45546 Eh?"
45546Fifteen, eh?
45546Fit? 45546 Glad?
45546Glad?
45546Gosh, does n''t some people have all the luck?
45546Have a good sleep?
45546Have you a telephone?
45546Have you no clues?
45546Hey, young felly,called O''Brien,"do you always make so neat a landing as that last?"
45546How are you all, and where is that wife of mine?
45546How do you suppose that happens?
45546How is he to know whether we have a drink or not? 45546 How old are you?"
45546Hurry up now, ca n''t you see Mr. Ridgeway beckonin''or ca n''t you see anybody any more but dooks?
45546I do n''t suppose I will ever know who you are, but we belong to each other somehow, do n''t we? 45546 If you are an American, you know all about football, do n''t you?"
45546Into the sea, Excellency?
45546Is anyone following?
45546Is he dead?
45546Just where are we?
45546Kill me, you mean?
45546Lawrence, do you want to come down as far as Pennsylvania Avenue and keep the car there for me?
45546Lovely, is n''t it?
45546Mother, what if you do not love me?
45546Nicely done, was n''t it, Mr. Ridgeway? 45546 Now then,"said he,"where have ye been the while?"
45546Now whose grandpappy is he?
45546Oh, who are you, dear?
45546Oh, ye have''em sighted, have ye? 45546 Out of a job, are you?"
45546Over there?
45546Pounds or dollars?
45546See his face? 45546 See me babies?"
45546See?
45546So_ that''s_ your little scheme, is it?
45546They do n''t look pretty, do they? 45546 We can get above it, ca n''t we?"
45546Well, Brown, it was n''t so hard to get him here, was it? 45546 Well, if you are going after the Smith man, what am_ I_ to do?"
45546Well, what have you to tell me?
45546Well, what in time would he do that for?
45546Well, what next?
45546Well, what shootin''irons have ye?
45546Well,_ do n''t_ that beat you?
45546Whadder you mean:_ epidemic_?
45546What about the jewel robbery in Paris? 45546 What are we going to do with O''Brien?"
45546What do you mean?
45546What do you say to landing? 45546 What do you think of that?"
45546What do_ you_ have to learn about butterflies for? 45546 What if it does?"
45546What is its fuel?
45546What is your name?
45546What is yours?
45546What of the night?
45546What was there about that one?
45546What''s that?
45546What''s the matter with him?
45546What''s the use of waiting? 45546 When will we see the Chief?"
45546Where do you suppose the people were?
45546Where from?
45546Where is he? 45546 Where is it?"
45546Who are you anyway?
45546Who are you?
45546Who are you?
45546Who are you?
45546Who are you?
45546Who are you?
45546Who can she be?
45546Who left the gas on?
45546Whom does he remind you of, Hamilton?
45546Why did n''t you answer the signal Lawrence sent out yesterday?
45546Why do you infernal blockheads leave it open with all this light streaming out?
45546Why should I duck?
45546Why should anyone_ want_ to tease the animals or chip pieces off the houses?
45546Why?
45546Will you go along with me?
45546With the eyeglass?
45546Wo n''t you have a drink?
45546Would n''t that give the alarm to the man ahead?
45546Yes, you nut,he retorted,"and suppose he had n''t uv escaped?
45546Yes; what happened last night?
45546You do n''t call that_ luck_, do you?
45546You do n''t know O''Brien very well, do you, Billy?
45546You left him unconscious?
45546You sure this is the place?
45546You_ are_ a suspicious kid all right, are n''t you? 45546 _ Bed?_ What are you talking about?"
45546_ Bed?_ What are you talking about?
45546''Modo who?''
45546A bargain?"
45546Are there any more glasses?"
45546Are you English?"
45546Are you sure,"he added, laughing,"that you have not a father or brother to whom I should be talking?"
45546Are you through with your electrical job?"
45546As they prepared for the night, he said:"Well, Lawrence, how do you like them all?"
45546Before they passed over the cliffs, would Mr. Ridgeway please slow down and allow him to come up?
45546Besides, their pupils; do you see them?"
45546Big stuff, eh?"
45546But like a cloud came the thought, suppose in all the passing years death had overtaken father or mother, perhaps both?
45546CHAPTER III"Well, what did you see?"
45546Ca n''t you make a guess, O''Brien?"
45546Can I give either of you a lift?"
45546Did I even send them to Amsterdam for recutting before showing them to you, and weighing them up?
45546Did n''t Smith tell us to put the empty bottle in his pocket?"
45546Did ye try creepin''up since night fell?"
45546Did you discover anything at all at the Ridgeways?
45546Did you notice anything funny about that dirigible?
45546Do you know who they are?"
45546Do you mind?
45546Do you understand?"
45546Do_ you_?"
45546Does the wireless work?"
45546Duck where?"
45546Fail?
45546Fight, can ye?
45546Have you a suitcase?
45546He dared not say much to O''Brien, but he whispered, as the orchestra blared out a jazz accompaniment to a dancer:"See who is behind you?"
45546He shoved it hastily out of sight just as Van Arsdale looked up and asked:"What makes this boat list so?"
45546How many times have I told you not to call me Excellency?
45546How would you like_ that_?"
45546How''s that?
45546How''s that?"
45546I expect you''ll loan me the matter of some pajammies?"
45546I told you what would happen, did n''t I then?
45546I wonder if we could reach him by wireless?"
45546If not, who was in the car?
45546Is he securely tied?"
45546Is n''t that about it?"
45546Lawrence looked so pleased and happy that Mr. Ridgeway put his arm about his shoulders, and asked,"Now are n''t you glad you came?"
45546No, by gummy, see the old duck steerin''?"
45546No?
45546No?
45546Now what in the world of wonders does all that mean?
45546On the spur of the moment he leaned down, and said:"Moll certainly soaked you a good one, did n''t she?"
45546Prodding him recklessly with the muzzle of his new automatic, he demanded,"Did n''t I say so?
45546Rather a large order?
45546Ridgeway?"
45546Ridgeway?"
45546Ridgeway?"
45546See these?"
45546So they are listening, are they, O''Brien?
45546So why should he bother to get in range with that felly?
45546So why work?
45546So, Mr. Ridgeway, what do you offer?"
45546Suppose they send you West?"
45546The diamonds in New York?
45546The signal was nothing important, was it?"
45546Then stepping to the telephone, he called the office of the great building and asked sharply,"Office, is the house doctor there?
45546Was there not a fair division when the job was done?
45546Wather?
45546We did n''t know it was jools like that that we were handlin'', did we?"
45546Well, he did miss the Club House, did n''t he?
45546What am I offered?"
45546What are you going to do about it?
45546What did_ he_ care if they were stained with blood?
45546What if anything_ should_ really happen to you?
45546What if his things should be burned up?
45546What if it should taste and rouse suspicion in the breasts of the three villains?
45546What if she does n''t_ want_ me?"
45546What if she should not like him?
45546What if the picture should be stolen?
45546What indeed would_ they_ have cared that the gems were stained with blood?
45546What they ever done for me, I say?"
45546What''s gone on since I slept?"
45546What''s in that vase of posies?
45546What''s it to us?"
45546What''s the time o''night?"
45546What''s the word?"
45546When do you start?"
45546When will you come?"
45546Where are you living, O''Brien?"
45546Where do you get this?"
45546Where does he keep himself?"
45546Where had John and the others been sidetracked?
45546Where had he ever seen the face before him?
45546Where had he heard that peculiar, deep, grating voice?
45546Where is he?"
45546Where would_ we_ be?"
45546Who are you?"
45546Who are you?"
45546Who is Smith?
45546Who said the war was over these five years?
45546Who was rushing it directly in their aerial wake?
45546Why did I not think of that before?
45546Why hang around that bleak spot?
45546Why should he be anxious?
45546Will you swear out a warrant?
45546Wo n''t come?
45546You know, O''Brien, who this Smith is?"
45546You noticed her picture in the library, did you not?
45546_ Business is business._ It was a good touch to get the three million as well as the jewels and papers, was it not?
45546and I says,''Where?''
45546he ordered,"who is that old chunk of trouble amblin''along there in the giddy plaids?"
45546says somebody, and I says,''Why, you nut, do n''t you study hist''ry?
47901And that''s what you wanted me for, is it?
47901And the carburettor-- do you know where to look for that?
47901Brady, you say, the fellow''s name is? 47901 But how am I to get away in the air- ship and to take the stolen property with me?"
47901But what was the cause of that shooting?
47901Ca n''t you understand? 47901 Cached?"
47901Did you bring the loot, Brady?
47901Did you see how many were aboard?
47901Did you see something drop from the driver''s pocket, Carl?
47901Do either of you know what the gasolene- tank is?
47901Do you keep an air- ship here?
47901Do you know dot feller, Hamildon Jerrold?
47901Do you know of any one around here that has an air- ship?
47901Do you mean to say that Brady''s air- ship is in that balloon house?
47901Does Mr. Jerrold live here?
47901Don''d dot peat ter tickens?
47901Don''d you know me, Misder Jerrold?
47901For vy nod?
47901Go right up and tackle Randal Fearon? 47901 Has Brady been captured?"
47901Have n''t you any friends or relatives to whom you could go?
47901Have you found the Hawk?
47901Hawk, eh?
47901He don''d lif in dot blace vere der chimney fires iss?
47901How are we heading, Pete?
47901How dey vas going to glaim it, hey? 47901 How do you steer the machine up and down, and right and left?"
47901How in thunder,he cried suddenly,"did Jerrold ever manage to get a line on me?
47901How powerful a motor have you?
47901How were they tied up? 47901 How will you do that?"
47901How you figger dot?
47901How you like dot, hey?
47901How you tink dot air- ship pitzness is, anyvays, Matt?
47901How''s a policeman coming up here to get at me?
47901How''s everything, Brady?
47901How''s that, Colonel Fearon?
47901How?
47901I suppose,said Matt, scathingly,"that your campaign is one of robbery, and that you''re going to make a pirate ship out of the Hawk?"
47901In front of the house?
47901Is Fearon fooling me, or is it Pete? 47901 Is dere a train ve can ketch?"
47901Is it you, Payne?
47901Is n''t there any way to get around to the other side of the island?
47901Is that the thing that makes the spark?
47901Is the name of it the''Hawk?''
47901Iss dot so?
47901Mebby not, but ye ai n''t findin''anythin''out, see?
47901Meppy ve pedder take der shtuff to der bolice, hey? 47901 Modor Matt?"
47901No? 47901 Now that I''ve caught you, I''m going to keep you, see?
47901Say,shouted the men,"did you boys see an air- ship anywhere in this vicinity?"
47901Shaty vork? 47901 She wo n''t drop on us, will she?"
47901Stolen?
47901Surprised?
47901That Dutchman was out in front all the while you were in the house?
47901That''s the Hawk, all right,said he, in a tone of intense disappointment,"but why is it heading in that direction?"
47901That''s your game, is it? 47901 The other two,"asked Matt, eagerly,"do you know who they were?"
47901Then the Hawk was n''t stolen and you did n''t send two men with a horse and buggy to look for her?
47901Then we''re on the right track?
47901Then you suspected there was something a little off- color about that telegram?
47901There''s another air- ship over the island----"Another air- ship?
47901Think I''m a fool?
47901Those fellows got back without breaking their necks, did they?
47901Typewritten- papers?
47901Und vere iss dot?

47901Well?
47901Were you the one who sent me that telegram?
47901What are you fellows doing there?
47901What are you trying to do, King?
47901What are you waiting for, Pete?
47901What are your plans, Helen?
47901What can we do?
47901What do you know about it? 47901 What do you know about this fellow Brady, Jerrold?"
47901What dy''ye s''pose has happened, Brady?
47901What has your father been doing?
47901What have you got to say about this, Brady? 47901 What is it?"
47901What is your name?
47901What shall I do?
47901What swamp?
47901What the blazes are you talking about? 47901 What''re you doing here so long?"
47901What''re you up to, hey?
47901What''s Rutherford?
47901What''s he going to do now?
47901What''s it all mean?
47901What''s that thing up in the branches just above him?
47901What''s that?
47901What''s the matter with you?
47901What''s the reason I ca n''t escape through that window in the rear wall,asked Matt, hurriedly,"and take refuge in the swamp?"
47901What''s the use o''botherin''with him? 47901 What''s to pay now?"
47901What''s your name?
47901When did he go in?
47901When do you think your plan can be carried out?
47901Where are you taking me?
47901Where are your father and the rest of the men?
47901Where did he get any clues that would bring him out here?
47901Where did you leave it?
47901Where do you think you are, anyhow?
47901Where is the Hawk now?
47901Where''ll we go to make them? 47901 Where''s the fellow you knocked down with the wrench?"
47901Where? 47901 Who is this Motor Matt, and how did he happen to get hold of the blue prints?"
47901Who vas dot Jerrold feller?
47901Who were those two men?
47901Who''s down there?
47901Who''s the owner of the Hawk?
47901Why do n''t you blaze away at him, Brady?
47901Why not?
47901Why?
47901Why?
47901Will that do you?
47901Would it be right for me to take a reward for returning property my own father had stolen?
47901You do n''t want to make a bolt for the timber and get mired in the swamp, do you? 47901 You haf seen palloons meppy?"
47901You mean to dake us py der svamp in der Eagle?
47901You say a friend of yours is in the house?

47901Aber oof der pinch come ven you don''d vas looking, den vat?"
47901Ach, vat vill I do for dot bard oof mine?"
47901And then, again, how did you think Jerrold got hold of your name and address?
47901And what can the law do?"
47901And what good was her warning to do if he did not take advantage of it and make his escape?
47901Anyvay, how can dey ketch a flying machine mit a horse und puggy?
47901Back to South Chicago?"
47901Brady?"
47901But how was the countercheck to be brought about?
47901But what could I do?
47901Did n''t it strike you as being a little bit queer that Jerrold should have asked you to come and see him when it was his business to go and see you?
47901Did n''t you guess that when I showed you that article in the paper?
47901Do n''t you know how to run a gas- engine?"
47901Do n''t you know it''s against the law to do that?"
47901Don''d I vas delling you?"
47901Don''d you ondershtand?
47901Fearon?"
47901Have n''t you got them with you?"
47901How did he ever find out where I was, I wonder?"
47901How did that come?"
47901How ve ged him down, hey?
47901How ve go?
47901How would five hundred a month strike you?"
47901I mean is there plenty of gasoline in the tank, and plenty of oil?"
47901If the trap had been sprung where were the ones who had sprung it?
47901In a piece of yellow paper?"
47901Is that clear?"
47901Is the Hawk all ready for a flight?
47901Iss dot vat habbened?"
47901Meppy ve go und take a look at der palloon house, eh?"

47901Shall we go to the rescue of Motor Matt?

47901Well, what have you to gain by running off with me?
47901What are you doing with your right hand, Needham?"
47901What are you trying to do?"
47901What if he should come back and see you here again?"
47901What put that in your head?"
47901What was he doing then?
47901What will your father do when he finds that out?"
47901What would his chum do?
47901Where was the Eagle?
47901Who is he, and why should he send me here?"
47901Who was the girl and why had she run the risk to warn him?
47901Why?
47901Will you feel justified in sending me up to Washington?"
47901Would you like to read while you''re waiting?"
47901You mean to tell me you invented that bullet all by yourself?"
47901You went after him, did n''t you?"
47901You''ve asked him to stay?"
47901Your air- ship has been stolen, has n''t it?"
47901cried Jerrold;"did you get back the plans those rascals stole from me?"
14665And have you anything to mend the silk bag with?
14665And have you thought over what I asked you last night?
14665And what place is this?
14665And where is Andy?
14665Any particular place you want to go to?
14665Are dem young gen''men all hunky- dory?
14665Are dey goin''to die, Perfessor?
14665Are the shutters closed?
14665Are we on land or sea?

14665Are you sure no one is here to learn our secret?
14665Are you the conductor?
14665Are your teeth all fast after that effort?
14665But what has happened? 14665 But what is it?"
14665But where are the boys?
14665But where in the world did you come from?
14665Ca n''t it be fixed?
14665Ca n''t we walk up the place where we slid down?
14665Can an accident have happened?
14665Can it be right?
14665Can we help?
14665Can you climb up to the top of the box car?
14665Can you do it?
14665Certainly; why not?
14665Come; are ye goin''to move?
14665Dare you do it?
14665Did he ever get a shock like this before?
14665Did yo''gen''men obtain a sufficient percentage of restful slumberation?
14665Did you find any more victims of the wreck?
14665Did you shut off the power?
14665Do you boys feel like eating?
14665Do you boys want to be killed?
14665Do you know what this is?
14665Do you not hear a terrible rushing, roaring wind? 14665 Do you remember what I asked you when the knock interrupted us?
14665Do you see any one?
14665Do you suppose he would have locked us up?
14665Do you think I am so foolish as to waste the labor and toil of years?
14665Do you think there''ll be a smash- up?
14665Do you think you have rested enough now to take a look inside?
14665Eagles?
14665Have n''t you a revolver?
14665Hear what?
14665How about you, Mark?
14665How are we going to eat, without knives, forks or spoons?
14665How are we going to get out?
14665How did she get here?
14665How did you get there? 14665 How does that strike you?"
14665How far away is the place?
14665How fast are we moving?
14665How in the world did you do it?
14665How is she heading?
14665How is she running?
14665How long ago do you suppose that was written?
14665How long have your folks been dead?
14665How shall we escape?
14665I fell, did n''t I?
14665I presume you mean there has been a railroad wreck?
14665I wonder if the south pole is like this?
14665I wonder if there are people at the pole?
14665I wonder if we''d have time to walk out on the ice a little?
14665I wonder what is next on the program?
14665I wonder what that is?
14665I wonder what we are going to do?
14665I wonder where we are?
14665In a machine shop or a railroad wreck?
14665Is any one hurt?
14665Is everything ready?
14665Is he dead?
14665Is he dead?
14665Is it headed toward us?
14665Is it night?
14665Is that netting strong?
14665Is the airship all right?
14665Is the beef tea ready?
14665Is the ship safe?
14665Is the water gaining?
14665Is there no other way?
14665Matter? 14665 Night or morning?"
14665Now when are you going to sail?
14665Now, the question is,said the inventor,"can our guide take us to the ship?"
14665Or have they all gone crazy? 14665 Shall I fire on them?"
14665Shall we jump?
14665So that''s your game, is it?
14665The north pole?
14665Then where in the world are we?
14665Then you are really going to search for the pole?
14665Washington, is breakfast ready?
14665Well?
14665What about me?
14665What did it show?
14665What did they want?
14665What did you do for him? 14665 What did you get, Mark?"
14665What do you say, Mark?
14665What happened? 14665 What happened?"
14665What has happened? 14665 What has happened?"
14665What has happened?

14665What has happened?
14665What has she got and what is she saying?
14665What have I struck?
14665What in the world is it?
14665What in the world is she doing?
14665What is it all about?
14665What is it for?
14665What is it you want to see?
14665What is it, Washington?
14665What is it, Washington?
14665What is it; soup?
14665What is it?
14665What is it?
14665What is it?
14665What killed him?
14665What made you go near the switch?
14665What makes it?
14665What now?
14665What shall I do, Perfessor?
14665What shall we do now?
14665What time is it?
14665What was that?
14665What''s de matter? 14665 What''s that about Greenland?"
14665What''s that?
14665What''s that?
14665What''s the matter with it?
14665What''s the matter; somethin''bit ye?

14665What''s the matter?
14665What''s the need of all this foolishness?
14665What''s this?
14665What-- what is the matter?
14665What?
14665Where are the guns?
14665Where are we going?
14665Where are we?
14665Where are you, Jack?
14665Where are you?
14665Where is Dirola?
14665Which way are we headed?
14665Who are you, anyhow?
14665Who are you?
14665Who is there?
14665Who is there?
14665Who is there?
14665Who said dinner?
14665Who''s going to drive our dogs?
14665Who''s there?
14665Who?
14665Why do n''t you turn up the light?
14665Why have you made it so dark? 14665 Why not try the machine gun on the eagles?"
14665Why not?
14665Will he make it?
14665Will we sink?
14665Ye''re tramps, ai n''t ye?
14665Yes, an''what am we goin''to eat in dat time?
14665Yes, but why do you ask?
14665You come?
14665You do n''t mean to say you are going further north after what that message says?
14665You mean the soft sand saved them?
14665Your fright did n''t deprive you of your appetite, then?
14665AT THE NORTH POLE?
14665Am yo''skeered?"
14665Are we over land or sea?"
14665Been beggin'', ai n''t ye?
14665But how did you bring me around again?"
14665But how do you feel, professor?"
14665But why have you all got your furs on?"
14665CHAPTER IV THE AIRSHIP"Do you feel better?"
14665CHAPTER XX AT THE NORTH POLE?
14665Can I do anything to fix you up?"
14665Can one of you start the ship?"
14665Did you look at the needle, Jack?"
14665Do you boys want to go along in the_ Monarch_ to a place where never mortal man has been?"
14665Do you hear it?"
14665Do you want to continue with me, now that you have had a chance to think the thing over?"
14665Has anything happened?"
14665How are you, Andy?"
14665How can we thank you, Dirola?"
14665How did you sleep?"
14665How many times have I told you not to try and use big words, Washington?
14665I take it you mean there were no others injured in the wreck?"
14665I wonder how cold it is?"
14665I wonder if they can be in my head?"
14665I''ve been tramping ever since; do n''t my clothes show it?
14665If we--""What''s that?"
14665Is any one here?"
14665Now if I tell you will you promise to keep it a secret until I give you leave to speak?"
14665Shall I shut off de gas?"
14665Shall we go?"
14665Then the old inventor opened his eyes and asked faintly:"What happened?
14665We''ll travel a way together, eh?"
14665What are all these wheels for?"
14665What are you boys doing there?"
14665What do you need in order to come up here?"
14665What do you say?
14665What do you say?"
14665What is it?"
14665What medicine did he take?"
14665What was that?"
14665What was that?"
14665What''s de matter now?"
14665What?
14665Where am I?"
14665Where am I?"
14665Where are the boys?"
14665Where are we?
14665Where are we?"
14665Where?"
14665Which was to win?
14665Would the leak be stopped?
14665Would you boys like to make the trip?"
14665Would you like to go along?"
14665You are sure you made no mistake, Jack?"
14665asked Professor Henderson,"Have n''t we troubles enough?"
47975And why did you jump overboard?
47975Anyone in sight yet, Grove?
47975Are you acquainted with the country around here?
47975Are you going to tell us anything about Brady?
47975Brady?
47975Brady?
47975But what are you going to do with the machine?
47975But where''s the thirty- five hundred to come from?
47975Can you climb up?
47975Can you give me any notion where I am, mister? 47975 Can you hear me?
47975Come to that, who are you?
47975Could n''t we rake up enough between us to buy her?

47975Did the chief say anything about another air ship?
47975Did you get this tip from Harper?
47975Did you look after Miss Brady, Carl?
47975Did your air ship give out on you?
47975Do n''t you see? 47975 Do you know that the source of Silver River is up in Black Cañon?"
47975Do?
47975Does the Hawk handle easily?
47975Don''d you rememper, Tick,said Carl,"I toldt you aboudt dot odder feller in Sout''Chicago vat hat inventioned an air ship?

47975How did you and Matt happen to go up in an air ship?
47975How do you know?

47975How far is he from here, Carl?
47975How far is the Hawk from town?
47975How in the world did you and Carl happen to be on that sailboat?
47975How long will Brady go up for?
47975How long will it take Brady to repair the Hawk?
47975How long you knowed dot Merrick feller, Tick?
47975How was it, Matt,she queried,"that you and your friend lost so much money?"
47975How you like dot, hey?
47975How''d you like to own the Hawk yourself, mate?
47975How''ll we know the place when we get to it?
47975How''s that?
47975I thought you were going to Quebec?
47975In how many places in this country, do you think, could an air ship come down without having a curious crowd around it inside of five minutes? 47975 Is Brady in this?"
47975Is Chief Raymond there?
47975Is Mr. Jameson there, Harris?
47975Is he the swab that carried Matt off in the air ship, Carl?
47975Is the Eagle ready for use?
47975Is the Hawk there?
47975It''s main queer, mate, do n''t you think?
47975Matt?
47975Meppy I can gif you some helup on der vay? 47975 Much tinkering to be done on her?"
47975New York? 47975 No one else?"

47975Say, kid, where are yeh going?
47975Say, yous ole webfoot,said one of the hoodlums,"loosen up, ca n''t yous, an''fork over the price o''a drink, all around?"

47975Want to talk with him personally?
47975Was Brady to wait there until you and Ochiltree joined him?
47975We''ve got to have a compass, eh?
47975What are the chances for capturing Whipple and Pete?
47975What are we going to do with the machine?
47975What are you going to do now, Helen?
47975What are you trying to do, Whipple?
47975What did the chief say?
47975What did you say your name was?
47975What did you try to duck by the back way for?
47975What do you think of that, Harris?
47975What do you want to know?
47975What has become of your brother?
47975What have you got to say about this?
47975What have you got to say for yourself?
47975What is going to be done with Ochiltree?
47975What of that?
47975What right you got to ask me things like that?
47975What sort of a beachcomber''s trick do you call that?
47975What sort of a chance, mate? 47975 What will your uncle say,"quizzed Matt,"when you write him you have bought an interest in an air ship?"
47975What ye lookin''at me fer?

47975What''s become of Hector, Jr.?
47975What''s it goin''to mean to me?
47975What''s that?
47975What''s the use of fooling around here any longer?
47975What-- what''s the meanin''o''this?
47975When was this?
47975Where are the other two?
47975Where are they?
47975Where is Brady?
47975Where''s Harper?
47975Where''s the chief, Harris?
47975Who in the fiend''s name are you?
47975Who loses der air ship?
47975Who put you next to where I was going, King?
47975Who told you where we was?
47975Who''re you?
47975Who''s Brady?
47975Who''s with him?
47975Whose baby are you? 47975 Why do n''t you find out what has dammed the source of the river?"
47975Why is the Chief of Police of South Chicago selling it?
47975Why so, Carl?
47975Why was that? 47975 Why was that?"
47975Why, you murderous hound,he went on,"how can you look at King, there, and at his friend, Ferral, and find the nerve to put such a question?
47975Wot''s de matter wit''yous?
47975You could n''t tell me who''s working the rig, could you?
47975You find so many boys trying to steal rides on the trolleys, do n''t you?
47975You going to Silver Bridge, then?
47975You know that?
47975You mean to say that the Hawk has been taken away so soon?
47975You on foot?
47975You''re an Easterner, ai n''t yeh?
47975You''re goin''to leave purty soon, anyhow, ai n''t you?
47975You''re in trouble now?
47975Am I doing a caulk, and imagining I''m wide awake?
47975An''you an''yer chum bought the Hawk?"
47975And how does it happen Carl is with you?"
47975And when you talk about traveling, Dick, where''ll we go?"
47975Anyhow, oof he don''d come pack py do- morrow, meppy ve go oudt vere he iss, und see him?
47975Are we going to follow the railroad?"
47975Are you a pard of King''s?"
47975Are you going to hand that money over, or have we got to take it away from you?"
47975Besides, when I''m ready to pull out for the River St. Lawrence and the gulf, why ca n''t I sail there in the Hawk?"
47975Busy?
47975But what are we going to do, Jerrold?
47975But what could the two boys accomplish against four husky men, all desperately determined to carry out the plot they had formed?
47975But what was the matter on that boat?
47975But what''s the good of the charts?
47975But where''s my old raggie, Motor Matt?
47975By the way, have n''t you some luggage in Chicago you''ll want to get?"
47975Could it be possible that Motor Matt was bringing the air ship in the direction of the_ Christina_?
47975Could n''t you recognize my voice?"
47975Could n''t you see it?
47975D''you want to go below, in irons?
47975Der vone vat heluped Modor Matt ged avay from Villoughy''s svamp mit der Hawk dot time he prought two oof der gang indo Sout''Chicago?"
47975Did n''t you hear him give the warning?
47975Ditn''t you hear about dot?
47975Do n''t you think so, Matt?"
47975Do you know what has been going on?"
47975Do you suppose she''ll be sold before we get out to South Chicago?"
47975Do you suppose you can take us somewhere near there?"
47975Had his remark about dropping in on the chief sometime during afternoon been merely a"bluff"?
47975Haf you gone back on me?"
47975Have you looked over the Hawk, Matt?"
47975How about going to New York and hiring the air ship to some one out on Coney Island?"
47975How do you go to work to warp the craft out of her berth?
47975How long before you can be ready, Carl?"
47975How much do they want for this one?"
47975How vas dot for some fixes?"
47975How you habben to be vere you vas schust ven ve needet you, bard?"
47975I reckon I was right, eh, dad?"
47975I suppose you''ve forgotten how you tied these two lads, put them in the little room back of the balloon house, and then turned on the gas?"
47975Is that the duffing son of a flounder that got away with my wad?"
47975Is that you, Matt?
47975It was the Hawk, there could be no possible doubt about that, but was the Hawk sailing out over the lake or merely traveling over the City of Chicago?
47975Jameson?"
47975Matt und me vas oudt peyond Sout''Chicago taking some spins in a pubble, ven along comes a runavay air ship, und----""A runaway air ship?"
47975Meppy ve follow der clue und get der air ship pack, den make anoder shtart for New York, hey?"
47975Meppy ve go righdt avay, hey?"
47975Now, whatever was King doin''on that keer?
47975Suppose I send Harris, in plain clothes, along with you?
47975Suppose we get the Hawk out of the shed?
47975The only point is, will this man Jerrold let Matt take his air ship?"
47975The river?
47975Und shdill, mit all dot, vasn''t it pooty fine dot you got oudt oof dot tight blace mit your life, you und Tick?"
47975Vat iss der meaning oof dot?"
47975Vat you t''ink oof dot?"
47975Ven ve shdart for Noo York now, Matt?
47975Vere you come from, Tick?"
47975Wait here until morning?"
47975Were Matt and Ferral to lose the air ship, after all?
47975What are you going to use her for?"
47975What became of him, Harris?"
47975What can I do for you?"
47975What is it?"
47975When do you want possession?"
47975Where are we going to keep the Hawk while she''s on the ground?"
47975Where are you going?"
47975Where did you come from, Dick?
47975Where did you come from?"
47975Where''s Brady?
47975Where''s Brady?"
47975Where''s Brady?"
47975Where''s Carl?"
47975Where''s the roll?"
47975Who could do that, if I was n''t along?"
47975Who you vas?
47975Why are you here?
47975Why did n''t you say so at the start off?
47975Why not call on Hamilton Jerrold?"
47975Why?"
47975Will you let your officers guard the Hawk until to- morrow morning?"
47975Will you waive requisition?"
47975Would it be wise to put it into such a thing as an air ship?
47975You have n''t any money to throw away, have you?"
47975You have n''t forgotten your old friend Brady, have you?"
47975You lads are going to start off in the air ship, are you?"
47975exclaimed the impulsive Ferral, slapping Carl on the shoulder,"do you think two thousand plunks would buy the craft, Carl?"
47975he yelled, as loud as he could, starting to run along the road and waving his satchel as he went,"vy don''d you vait for your Dutch pard, Matt?
47975laughed Whipple, huskily,"that''s the way of it, eh?
48524A man named Jurgens, then?
48524A rabbit''s foot?
48524Ah, señors,said she,"I should want to do it-- how?
48524American?
48524And what did you tell''em?
48524Are you going to run from a piece of carved wood?
48524Are you sick?
48524Bangs?
48524Basement? 48524 But how could he lay his plans?"
48524But how do you account for all this layout?
48524But why should the cap be here and not Carl? 48524 But-- but where does that-- that odor come from?"
48524Ca n''t Carl and I be away from you for a few hours, old ship, without making fools of ourselves? 48524 Can you work in the dark, Ferral?"
48524Der blace itseluf iss enough to make my shkin ged oop und valk all ofer me mit coldt feet; and den, for vy don''d we hear dat foice some more?
48524Did Bangs identify himself in any way?
48524Did Proctor and Jurgens make the boy a prisoner?
48524Did n''t they ask you how Townsend had come to get separated from the chest?
48524Did you break that idol''s head, Carl, when you smashed it against the wall?
48524Did you have any trouble making a landing, Dick?
48524Did you have the key?
48524Did you see a man and a boy go in here with a big iron box?
48524Do n''t you, mate?
48524Do n''t you- all know it''s bad business t''tampah with the south end of a mu- el goin''no''th?
48524Do they spell anything?
48524Do you know anything about that iron chest, Yamousa?
48524Do you know that man who was beating you?
48524Do you mean to say those are diamonds, Townsend?
48524Do you recollect what that second picture was? 48524 Do you remember where you took the chest?"
48524Do you smell a peculiar odor in this room?
48524Do you think Carl will try to unmoor the_ Hawk_?
48524Do you think he''s putting it on, mate?
48524Does it mean anything? 48524 Does it shed any light?"
48524Had n''t I better go, matey?
48524Has Rigolette a parrot?
48524Has he been topping the boom too much?
48524Have you any idea, Townsend,asked Matt,"why that Man from Cape Town should put an idol''s head in that iron chest?"
48524Have you any objections to letting us take a look through your basement?
48524Have you that paper that was found in the chest, Matt?
48524He went away with Bangs, and----"Bangs? 48524 How I vas going to do dot,"exploded Carl,"ven I see der hocus- pocus dot olt laty make mit us?
48524How could he have anything to do with it? 48524 How did you find that out, Yamousa?"
48524How did you get clear of the ropes?
48524How long can we stay in here without smothering to death?
48524How long have you been here, aunty?
48524How long was Jurgens here, in your house, Rigolette?
48524How much did Bangs give you to keep still about that iron chest?
48524How so, Carl?
48524How soon do the hands and legs begin to work, capitanos?
48524How you steal dot chest from him?
48524Hurt?
48524I thought you did n''t believe in such things?
48524I wonder if I only imagine it?
48524I''m der limid, am I?
48524Is it drink did it?
48524Is n''t there any other way to get out of here except by the negro''s aid?
48524Is that straight?
48524Is the old lady a fortune teller? 48524 Is there a man named Townsend in your house?"
48524Is there a room in this building that is inclosed with stone walls?
48524Iss der leedle monkey hungry? 48524 Iss i d t''rilling vork?"
48524Iss it easy?
48524Look here, vonce: Vere iss Downsent?
48524Matt?
48524Mebby I pedder go mit der chest?
48524Motor Matt''s luck bringer, eh?
48524No? 48524 Or Proctor?"
48524Poor beggars,cried Gilbert,"but if they_ will_ run on a day like this-- why on earth do n''t they go inside and rest peacefully?"
48524Positive of it, Dick?
48524Proctor?
48524See?
48524Señors,she cried with scorn,"have we idled in the fetching of water when water was so scarce, for the big''tub''every morn?
48524Sick?
48524That''s what we''ve been workin''for, and playin''tag with the law for, and gettin''into trouble for, is it? 48524 That''s your treasure, is it?"
48524The question is, what''s happened?
48524The question now arises,said he,"as to what we shall do with Jurgens, Whistler, Bangs and the unknown?
48524Tiamonts?
48524Townsend never got to the place he was going with that chest, eh, Proctor?
48524Vas I ashleep?
48524Vas it an eart''quake?

48524Vatt iss dot ofer der door, eh?
48524Waiting for me to slip down and give him the glad hand?
48524Want me to go soak my headt, hey? 48524 Was n''t it to help you recover that chest?"
48524Well,and Matt turned away,"where''s the chest?
48524Well?
48524Whaffur yo''call him Bangs, boss? 48524 What can I do for you, my friends?"
48524What did you do with the iron chest?
48524What do you suppose put him in that kind of a taking, mates?
48524What do you think of Yamousa and her smoke pictures, by now?
48524What does that gang mean by making a dead- set at the_ Hawk_? 48524 What happened to you?
48524What heathen mind was ever able to conjure that out of a block of wood? 48524 What is it, mate?"
48524What is it, matey?
48524What is it?
48524What is there about this head to exert such an evil influence?
48524What killed the monkey, Rigolette?
48524What sort of a place is this, anyhow?
48524What was he doing here?
48524What will you and your chums do now, Matt?
48524What''s Obboney?
48524What''s the matter with you, mate?
48524What''s the matter with you?
48524What''s the matter with you?
48524What''s the matter, Ferral?
48524What, the head of Obboney?
48524Where are they? 48524 Where are they?
48524Where are we?
48524Where away was it?
48524Where is Motor Matt?
48524Where is that charm now, Carl?
48524Where is ze man zat take me from my home and beat me wiz ze stick?
48524Where we going to keep der air ship when we reach der city?
48524Where were you this afternoon, Cassidy?
48524Where''ll we look for him? 48524 Where''s Carl?"
48524Where''s Whistler?
48524Where''s the woman in distress?
48524Whistler?
48524Who are you?
48524Who lives in the house?
48524Why did n''t Jurgens take the head away with him if it was in the box?
48524Why not?
48524Will you show us how to get up there? 48524 Will you tell?"
48524Yes?
48524You did n''t have to kill Whistler to get the key, did you?
48524You do n''t think for a moment, my dear friend,said he,"that I''m trying to deceive you?
48524You got the five hundred?
48524You had an idea that idol''s head was hollow and that there was something in it, had n''t you, Matt?
48524You hear him dot time, Tick?
48524You know ze man in ze stone room?
48524You remember that smoke picture of Yamousa''s-- the one you and I saw?
48524You say the boy and Jurgens were like Bangs, here?
48524You say you knew that we were coming?
48524You were tied, were n''t you, Carl, while you were in that room at Rigolette''s?
48524You''re the fellow who came to Stuyvesant Dock about half- past ten this morning and took away an iron chest, are n''t you?
48524Your name Rigolette?
48524And the iron chest they brought with them?"
48524And the iron chest-- was that all that was in it?"
48524And what was it that had turned the brains of Bangs, Jurgens and Carl?
48524And where is the German boy who came with Proctor?
48524And you say the Dutchman is down in the court?"
48524But it is a fine problem, eh?
48524But where''s the woman that wanted help?"
48524But why should the Man from Cape Town pack the deadly thing in the chest and then ask me to open the chest in the presence of his daughter?
48524But will it pay to bother with them?"
48524Ca n''t they overhear us?"
48524Ca n''t you understand that?"
48524Can you find a place?"
48524Chloe stepped quietly from the group, and as quietly said:"This is a woman''s business; is it not so, Uncle Henrico?
48524Comprenny?"
48524Could you make a guess as to what it was, Townsend?"
48524Did Whistler have anything to do with it?"
48524Did he seem to be crazy, or in any manner off his balance?"
48524Did n''t they tell you?"
48524Dit you see der barrot?"
48524Do you know that man?"
48524Do you want this thing, Jurgens?"
48524For why Yamousa no tell, eh?
48524Furthermore, I wonder how it happened that Bangs was on the levee to spring that cock- and- bull story on you when you arrived?
48524Had the attack failed or had they captured our post?
48524Have we cried''clear out''to you when you could not no more than these soldiers?"
48524Have you any matches?"
48524How do you like zat, you niggers?
48524How is it you happen to be here?"
48524How long have you been here?"
48524How much did he give you?"
48524How you ged off dot islant in der Pahamas?
48524How you get here, eh?"
48524How you like ze evil eye on you?"
48524However did it happen to get into the hands of those boys?"
48524I wonder if he''s found Jurgens, and if the two of them have got the hooks on Carl?"
48524I wonder if his name is Jurgens?"
48524I wonder if it had anything to do with the unbalancing of Jurgens, Bangs and Carl?
48524I wonder if that odor could kill a man?"
48524I wonder if you''ve got anything of importance about your clothes?
48524I wonder what Townsend will say to this?
48524I wonder what it can be, and how we are able to smell it here?"
48524If he had n''t, I should have opened that iron chest in the home of a lady on St. Charles Avenue, and who knows what the consequences would have been?
48524If he was n''t a friend of Townsend''s how could he have known we were coming?"
48524If it does, what?"
48524If that''s the case, he''d hardly have a friend like Bangs, would he?
48524If the man who rented the place has n''t moved in yet I suppose there wo n''t be any objection?"
48524If there was anything crooked about Bangs he would n''t have wanted any one to go with the chest, see?"
48524It lands on the flat just outside the other opening, does n''t it?
48524Shall I put ze spell on you?
48524Should we hear the signal clear or confused, loud or soft?
48524Suppose we let it go at that and sponge out the occult part of it?
48524The question is, is there anything in it, or is it all a fake?"
48524The question is, what is that hidden meaning?
48524Vant some crackers?
48524Vat you say Rigolette call dot monkey?"
48524Vat you t''ink is dot anyvay, Tick?"
48524Vat''s der madder mit der olt laty?
48524Vot you call dose t''ings?"
48524W''y he do zat w''en he could come by ze door?
48524Was it Chloe?
48524Was n''t there anything else?"
48524Was the deadly odor taking effect upon his brain?
48524What about Whistler?"
48524What are they doing?
48524What do you make of it, Matt?"
48524What do you think we found in it?"
48524What had caused the death of the monkey?
48524What interests you in the old vault?"
48524What ob it?"
48524When did you get here?"
48524Where did that head come from, Rigolette?"
48524Where did you fellows pick up the chest, Dutchy?"
48524Where does it come from?"
48524Where is he now?
48524Where is ze ozzer of you?
48524Where''s the_ Hawk_?"
48524Who knows so well as I the rock paths through the lines of the sentinels?
48524Who volunteers?"
48524Who you vas, anyhow?"
48524Who''s Bangs?"
48524Why not berth her on one of the docks?
48524Why?"
48524Will you tell?"
48524With you and me locked up, and Carl running around with his mind in a haze, I wonder what''s going to become of the_ Hawk_?
48524Yo''ai n''t expectin''tuh take hit away from me, is yo''?"
48524You did n''t row all the way to town against the current?"
48524You got my telegram, of course?"
48524You hear?
48524Zat ees better zan a dollar each, eh?"
48524_ Now_ what are we going to do?
48524and"Is that the lighthouse?"
48524basement?"
48524he whispered;"vas I treaming?
48524what''s this?"
48524whispered Matt excitedly;"do you recognize him, Dick?"
3005''Cause, was n''t it robbed right after he was hangin''around here with the burglar tools?
3005A roof?
3005Ah, are you hurt, Eradicate?
3005Ah, gentlemen, what can I do for you?
3005Ah, then there is a reward offered?
3005An airship?
3005An airship?
3005And you believe my son guilty, solely on the testimony of these two boys, who, as is well known, are his enemies?
3005And you''re sure they were burglar tools?
3005Are n''t you?
3005Are you all ready?
3005Are you all right, Tom?
3005Are you crazy? 3005 Are you hurt, Tom?"
3005Are you one of the fellows that looted the bank?
3005Are you sure about the ring on his finger?
3005Are you sure they''re out of jail?
3005Are you sure?
3005Bless my very existence, but did I tumble off the airship?
3005Burglar tools? 3005 But how can you capture them?"
3005But how can you enter the building?
3005But how do you know my son was waiting for a chance to break into the bank?
3005But must we be arrested?
3005But the broken propeller?
3005But what is it? 3005 But what news are you going to tell me?"
3005But why did they follow you?
3005But why do you think they pursued you?
3005But why do you want to get any information about that gang?
3005Ca n''t we make a trial trip before we fit up the car ready for a long flight?
3005Ca n''t we steer to one side, as it is?
3005Ca n''t you avoid it?
3005Ca n''t you give some sort of a lecture? 3005 Ca n''t you speed her up any more?"
3005Ca n''t you start the motor?
3005Can we see the place?
3005Can you tell me where I can get a copy of this paper?
3005Did I fall?
3005Did you get the money?
3005Do n''t you want to come and take a ride with us?
3005Do you know him?
3005Do you mean that?
3005Do you mean to tell me a warrant has actually been sworn out against my son, Chief?
3005Do you really mean it?
3005Do you really think it will go fast?
3005Do you really wish to know?
3005Do you think it will be safe?
3005Do you think it would be a good plan?
3005Do you think we''ll get on the right track if we put the needle valve in?
3005Do you think you can stand going a trifle higher?
3005Do you want to go higher?
3005Escaped who?
3005Hanging around the bank last night with burglar tools?
3005Happened? 3005 Has anything happened?"
3005Have you a paper-- a newspaper I could look at?
3005He has n''t told you yet what he''s engaged in inventing; has he?
3005He''ll be back though, wo n''t he?
3005His father''s a professor, anyhow, is n''t he, Tom? 3005 How about rain?"
3005How about you, Garret?
3005How about you, dad?
3005How are you now?
3005How did it happen?
3005How do you know they were burglar tools?
3005How do you know?
3005How high up are we?
3005How in the world did you get here?
3005How''s that?
3005How''s that?
3005How-- how many are killed?
3005How?
3005How?
3005Hurt? 3005 I also--""What about the reward?"
3005I have n''t been robbed again, have I?'' 3005 I wo n''t, eh?"
3005I wonder if I''ll ever get used to going several miles up in the air?
3005I wonder what he meant?
3005I wonder where we are?
3005If they had shot a few holes in the gas bag where would we be?
3005In the meanwhile will you kindly explain, what this means?
3005Is dat yo''flyin''machine, Mistah Swift?
3005Is it an earthquake?
3005Is-- is he dead?
3005It could n''t be out of pure mischief; could it?
3005Killed? 3005 May I kiss you good- by?"
3005May n''t we see the airship? 3005 Maybe you can beat me at racing, too?"
3005Me? 3005 Me?
3005Me? 3005 Miss Delafield, do you understand enough about an airship to lecture on one?"
3005No professor?
3005No, indeed, not this city, but who knows but what the example may spread? 3005 Nobody hurt?"
3005Nobody killed?
3005Now the question is,he said to Tom one evening,"who shall we take with us?
3005Now what is it, Ned?
3005Oh, do they?
3005Oh, it''s you; is it?
3005Oh, me? 3005 Oh, you think you could?"
3005Oh, you will, eh?
3005Pray, gentlemen, to what are we indebted for this honor?
3005Red Cloud?
3005See that pile of dirt?
3005Shall we go for doctors?
3005Shall we go in for it, Tom?
3005Shall we?
3005So he''s foiled us, eh? 3005 So that''s what you''ve been working on, eh, dad?"
3005Suppose it should be some of them?
3005Suppose we ca n''t?
3005Suppose we drop down, and leave some message? 3005 Suppose we start the ship first?
3005Sure? 3005 That''s a good plan,"commented Mr. Sharp,"but are you sure these are the men we want?
3005The bank robbers captured, eh? 3005 Then can you explain?"
3005Tom Swift arrested, eh?
3005Tom, can you make out where we are?
3005Tried to damage the airship, eh?
3005Up or down?
3005Upon what charge?
3005Was n''t there a lot of people killed in the explosion we heard?
3005We seem to be heading right for the midst of it?
3005Well, now, what''s to be done?
3005Well, what are you going to do about it?
3005Well, what do you say to something to eat?
3005Well, what else happened?
3005Well, what''s the first thing to do?
3005Well, why do n''t you?
3005Well,remarked Mr. Sharp, somewhat dubiously,"I wonder who we can get to go?
3005Well?
3005Were n''t they arrested after they stole your boat?
3005Were you thinking of any particular young lady?
3005What are yo''doin''to mah friend, Mistah Swift?
3005What are you fellows driving at, anyhow?
3005What did he say?
3005What did you see?
3005What did you tell him?
3005What do you mean?
3005What do you want with him?
3005What does that mean?
3005What for?
3005What happened? 3005 What happened?"
3005What happened?
3005What in the world can those people be up to, anyhow?
3005What invention is he planning now?
3005What is it?
3005What is your father so busy over?
3005What on earth can this mean?
3005What right have you to accuse my son?
3005What shall I do?
3005What were you hanging around here for?
3005What you doing around the bank at this hour?
3005What''s making us go ahead, if the motor is n''t going?
3005What''s that?
3005What''s the matter?
3005What''s the matter?
3005What''s the matter?
3005What''s the matter?
3005What''s this I hear, Pendergast?
3005What? 3005 What?
3005What?
3005What?
3005What?
3005What?
3005Where can we get a paper like this?
3005Where is he?
3005Where is your son, Tom?
3005Why did n''t I think of that? 3005 Why do n''t they accuse me and Mr. Jackson and you?
3005Why doan''t yo''know me?
3005Why have you any more cause to suspect him than any other lad in town? 3005 Why not?"
3005Why wo n''t you go, dad?
3005Why, ca n''t you get that motor to work yet?
3005Will she weather it, do you think?
3005Will you be quiet?
3005Would n''t you like to stay and take a ride in it?
3005Would you mind letting me see the warrants?
3005Yes, but I get my share, do n''t I?
3005You did n''t want to rob the bank, did you?
3005You say you also suspect Mr. Damon of complicity in this affair?
3005Are n''t you in the habit of getting them down here?"
3005Are you casting off those ropes, Tom?
3005Are you hurt?"
3005As for the provisions, you threw over a lot; did n''t you, Tom?"
3005At least I ca n''t run up any stoop, can I?"
3005But are yo''all suah yo''are done eatin''?
3005But are you sure the men you saw are the same ones who stole the turbine model?"
3005But do you really expect to have your airship in shape to fly soon?"
3005But how about the trip in the airship?
3005But what about ordering food?
3005But what did yo''all ask about that paper?"
3005But what would the men be doing in this neighborhood?
3005But when do you think we will finish the-- well, I do n''t know what to call it-- I mean our aeroplane?"
3005But why do you ask?"
3005But, though he showed much confidence he asked Mr. Sharp in private, just before the impromptu contest:"Do you think we can beat him?"
3005Ca n''t you do something?"
3005Chapter 2 Ned Sees Mysterious Men"Who were those fellows?"
3005Chapter 21 On The Trail"What''s the matter, Tom?"
3005Chapter 8 Winning a Prize"Well, Tom, what happened?"
3005Damon?"
3005Damon?"
3005Did you get all the information you could?"
3005Do you know anything of him?"
3005Do you mean to say that the same gang-- the Happy Harry crowd-- robbed the bank?"
3005Do you see anything of another machine chasing me?"
3005Do you suppose your father will come along?"
3005Doctors?"
3005Hitting a cloud- bank is easier than trying to climb a tree on a motorcycle, eh, Tom?"
3005How about you?"
3005How are we going about it?"
3005How dare you leave without permission?"
3005How do you feel?
3005How long before we will reach it?"
3005How many will you need?"
3005How much is the damage?"
3005How''s the gas generator, Tom?"
3005However will I ever get my car off your porch?"
3005However, are you going to get the ship down?"
3005I wonder how Andy could say that?"
3005I wonder if your father ca n''t be induced to accompany us?
3005I wonder what they''re heading this way for?"
3005I''ve had enough to eat, have n''t you?"
3005Instead of turning at Atlanta, what do you say to making for Key West, and then starting back?
3005Is all clear?"
3005Is n''t it great luck, though?"
3005Is n''t my son to receive the five thousand dollars for informing as to the identity of the thief-- isn''t he?"
3005Is n''t nine almost as bad as ten?
3005Is the ship all right?"
3005It was:''Is there any chance to- night?''"
3005Just before he left, Mr. Damon--""Yes, what did he do?"
3005May I bring a few of my friends with me?
3005May I?"
3005Pay them?
3005Reward?
3005Run away when he knew we were coming?
3005Sharp?"
3005Sharp?"
3005Sharp?"
3005Sharp?"
3005Sharp?"
3005Sharp?"
3005So the police want me, do they?"
3005So they''ve caught Tom Swift and that rascally Damon, eh?
3005So you''ve come back, eh?
3005Swift and his son about this morning?"
3005Swift, and Garret?"
3005Swift?"
3005Swift?"
3005Swift?"
3005The money back?
3005Think you''re smart, do n''t you?
3005Toward the close of the day a fussy little Frenchman entered, and, making his way to where Tom stood, asked:"Air you ze ownair of zis machine?"
3005Was it deserted?
3005Well, how are things going; and how is the airship?"
3005Were you hurt?"
3005What do yo''all reckon thet airship looks like?"
3005What does that mean, sneaking Andy Foger amount to?
3005What is it?"
3005What were they to do?
3005What you making, anyhow?"
3005What''s that?"
3005What?
3005Where are they?"
3005Where is he?"
3005Who are you anyhow?"
3005Who caught them?
3005Who gave you any clues to point to my son?"
3005Why do you fix on him, and Mr. Damon?
3005Why not Red Cloud?"
3005Why should n''t we know where we are going to eat dinner?"
3005Will you take me along?"
3005Will you take me?"
3005Wonder what they want around here?"
3005Wonder what they want?"
3005Would he rob the bank where his own funds were?"
3005Yo''all ai n''t see th''airship; have yo''all?"
3005You do n''t mean that some of the gang is down there?"
3005You have come to arrest my son?"
3005You think you''re going to escape, do you?"
3005You''ll want to send it home, I suppose?"
3005Young ladies, will you go to your rooms?"
1284''Scuse me, Massa Tom,began Eradicate,"but did n''t yo''tell me to spade de garden?"
1284''Silent Sam?'' 1284 Am I right?"
1284An''you let me scatter dirt?
1284An''you tell me help-- yes?
1284And do you think we shall get word, Tom?
1284And now,said Tom, after thanking their temporary host, a farmer named Bloise,"can you tell us anything about an old cabin that stands back there?"
1284And what causes it?
1284And what do you think happened to him after he was hurt?
1284Any relations?
1284Anybody here?
1284Are n''t you ever coming to see me any more, or take me for a ride?
1284Are they bothering him-- talking business that I ought to attend to when he''s ill? 1284 Are we all right?"
1284Are you going to take her aloft, Tom?
1284Are you sure you do n''t mean''wo n''t''?
1284As it is now, Tom, you have to get an aeroplane in pretty speedy motion before it will rise from the ground, do n''t you?
1284Better take a light-- hadn''t you? 1284 But are you going to use a tractor or pusher type?"
1284But ca n''t you patch it up, or go on without a muffler, so we can get back home?
1284But did you turn down the offer from those people?
1284But how did you know about it, Ned?
1284But if some one got in and had a look at the inside of your silencer he could see how it is constructed, could n''t he?
1284But what is this you hinted at-- a silent motor you called it, I believe? 1284 But what was their object?"
1284But where are the Secret Service men?
1284But would n''t you just as soon sit on a bench in the garden? 1284 But, even supposing all this, why could n''t they telephone to us that my father was all right?
1284By not taking that money? 1284 Can it be done?"
1284Can you go down, Tom, without letting them hear you?
1284Can you take her down safely?
1284Could n''t you make a big one of those contraptions and put it on an aeroplane?
1284Danger, Tom, in an auto? 1284 Do n''t you want to take a day or two to think it over?"
1284Do they know you are working on such a model as this Silent Sam of yours, Tom?
1284Do you know Gale or Ware?
1284Do you know who they are?
1284Do you mean those are the files used in weakening the outer case of your new machine, so that it burst a little while ago?
1284Do you recognize it?
1284Do you think the government would use it, Tom?
1284Do you think you have solved the problem?
1284Does n''t that seem suspicious?
1284Everything all right?
1284For me?
1284Go where?
1284Have I been so impolite as to sleep during part of your talk? 1284 Have n''t you a good man who is used to experimental work that you can let me take from the works?"
1284Have these men held you a prisoner ever since you called for help on the moor that night?
1284Have you been taking a new trip to the Land of Wonders? 1284 Have you said anything to the government yet?"
1284He has n''t gone home, has he?
1284Hear it? 1284 Hello, what''s the matter?"
1284How are you going to start, Tom?
1284How did you get in? 1284 How do you know?"
1284How do you know?
1284How long ago did Mr. Nestor leave?
1284How long ago was that?
1284How?
1284How?
1284How?
1284Huh? 1284 I understood that the man who--""Do you mean there was some one here in the shed last night?"
1284I understood-- But has n''t my partner, Mr. Ware, seen you?
1284I wonder if he could have meant that? 1284 I wonder if he could have meant that?"
1284I wonder what he wanted to see me about?
1284I wonder who is at the bottom of this?
1284Is Mr. Damon with him?
1284Is father all right?
1284Is it really you?
1284Is silence its chief recommendation?
1284Is that your final answer?
1284Is there a rear door?
1284Is this your new machine, Tom?
1284Knives, or some other weapons?
1284Mary did n''t telephone again, did she?
1284Mr. Thomas Swift?
1284Mr. Tom Swift, the great inventor?
1284No trouble, I hope?
1284Oh, do you think he was badly hurt?
1284Oh, have n''t I? 1284 Oh, what will happen to us?"
1284Oh, you mean-- him?
1284One did not appear as if he was being taken away against his will, did he?
1284Safe, Mary?
1284Shall I have to wear all those things-- such as you have on?
1284Shall I take you down?
1284So that''s the Air Scout, is it, Tom?
1284Some one here last night?
1284Then had n''t we better inquire there? 1284 Then what is it?"
1284There could n''t much get past Koku; but some one seems to have done it, or else how could that filing have been done?
1284There is n''t any danger, is there?
1284Time for what-- dinner?
1284Tom, what do you really think has happened?
1284Trouble? 1284 Very strange about Mr. Nestor, is n''t it?"
1284Was Mr. Nestor in the car?
1284Was this some one special you were inquiring about?
1284Well, what do you make of it, Tom?
1284Well, what do you want to do? 1284 Well,"queried Ned, as Tom gave orders to have the damaged machine removed and the roof repaired,"does this end the wonderful silent motor, Tom?"
1284Well,said Tom, at length,"we found it, did n''t we?"
1284What about the propeller blades?
1284What am I doing?
1284What can have happened?
1284What deeper motive could they have, Ned?
1284What do you intend to do now?
1284What do you see?
1284What do you think of it, Tom?
1284What does it all mean? 1284 What does it all mean?"
1284What does it mean? 1284 What is it, Rad?
1284What is it, Rad?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What is it?
1284What other fellows?
1284What shall we do now?
1284What shall we do-- go back and tell Mrs. Nestor and Mary, or communicate with the police?
1284What time does it show?
1284What''s all this figuring, Tom?
1284What''s that about a riddle?
1284What''s that, Tom?
1284What''s that? 1284 What''s that?"
1284What''s wrong?
1284What-- what are you doin''?
1284What?
1284What?
1284When can you give me a test?
1284When did you last see that it was in perfect condition?
1284Where?
1284Who are you and what are you doing? 1284 Who else but some spy trying to get possession of my secrets?"
1284Who is it?
1284Who is it?
1284Who were in the auto you saw?
1284Who would want to gain a knowledge of it in that unlawful way?
1284Who''s here?
1284Who''s that? 1284 Who''s there?"
1284Whut fo''yo''all want to clutter up dish yeah place fo''? 1284 Why ca n''t something be done so you can talk in an aeroplane as well as in a balloon?
1284Why not try the Alexian Hospital?
1284Why not?
1284Why not?
1284Why not?
1284Why would any one want to do that?
1284Why would they do that?
1284Why, so?
1284Wo n''t you have a chair?
1284Would he delay this long?
1284Would you like to come for a ride, Mary, in the silent airship?
1284Yes, but where, Tom? 1284 Yo''--yo''ll be mighty careful ob Miss Nestor now, wo n''t yo'', Massa Tom?"
1284You are n''t going to invent a sort of muffler for the ears, are you, Tom?
1284You came here to make me an offer?
1284You have? 1284 You know how to throw the switch, do n''t you?"
1284You mean Gale and Ware of the Universal Flying Machine Company?
1284You mean try to turn out a silent motor?
1284You think so, Tom?
1284You want to see Master?
1284You''re sure it''s safe, Tom?
1284And I guess you hear me, do n''t you?"
1284And it''s the resistance of the air to the blades of an airship propeller that sends the craft along, is n''t it?"
1284And your mother is worried?
1284And, though this man may have acted as our agent at one time, we repudiate any acts of his that might--""What are you talking about?"
1284Anyhow what do you think?"
1284Are they camping on your trail?"
1284Are you really serious in trying to invent one?"
1284Bower gone?"
1284But I wonder what they mean, and why this letter was delayed?"
1284But how are you going to get the condensed air?"
1284But how?"
1284But where?"
1284But why fly at night?
1284But, as it is--""What are you saying, Tom?
1284CHAPTER XIII SOMETHING QUEER"Did you hear that?"
1284CHAPTER XVIII SUSPICIONS"Who''s there?"
1284CHAPTER XX QUEER MARKS"What happened?"
1284Damon?"
1284Damon?"
1284Damon?"
1284Damon?"
1284Damon?"
1284Damon?"
1284Damon?"
1284Did I do dat?"
1284Did he come in here?
1284Did he pull the wrong handle?"
1284Did you find anything on him?"
1284Did you see anything of father as you came along?"
1284Do n''t you see an automobile outlined?"
1284Do you accept?"
1284Do you like it?"
1284Do you really think you have a new idea in airships?"
1284Do you think they''ll stay to dinner?
1284Do you think we can follow them?"
1284Does it sail silently, Tom?"
1284For how much will you sell your patent to the United States?"
1284Have me stay here and guard the machine while you go for help?
1284Have you brought back some new kind of servant?"
1284Heard anything more from those Universal people?"
1284How can air be made as dense as water, Tom Swift?"
1284How can we get back to Shopton in a hurry?"
1284How did it happen?"
1284How is the silent motor coming on?"
1284How long ago?
1284How many ways are now used to propel an airship or a dirigible balloon through the air?
1284How many ways?"
1284How''s that for an idea?"
1284How''s that, Tom Swift?
1284How?"
1284I want to fix a wire and--""Oh, is anything broken?"
1284I wonder how he liked our mud hole?"
1284I wonder if it is anything like mine?
1284If the engine turns the screw, or propeller, just over say fifty times a minute you would get some motion of the boat, would n''t you?"
1284Is I gwine to help yo''all in dish yeah job?"
1284Is any one hurt?
1284Is n''t it safer by daylight?"
1284Is n''t that great?"
1284Is n''t there some one else you can let me have?"
1284Is that a joke?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Nestor?"
1284Now what do you say to that, Tom Swift?
1284Now, how does that strike you?
1284Now, instead of having to depend on the speed of the aeroplane for this, why not depend on the speed of the propeller-- in other words, the whizzer?"
1284Or shall I go?"
1284So it''s you again, is it, you spy?"
1284Swift, I believe?"
1284Tell him to come home?
1284Tell me, are my wife and Mary all right?"
1284Terrill?"
1284Then he suddenly exclaimed:"What''s that?
1284There is n''t anything in the wallet, is there?"
1284Was he tampering with my safe?"
1284What are you doing?"
1284What are you going to call it?"
1284What do you mean--""I mean are you going to experiment any further?"
1284What do you suggest?"
1284What does it mean?
1284What has happened to Koku?"
1284What is it?
1284What were you doing with Bower at my shop?"
1284What''s going on?
1284What''s that compared to the three to ten thousand revolutions of the propellers now used?
1284What''s that?
1284What''s the big idea, Ned?"
1284What''s the matter?
1284What''s the matter?"
1284Where are the strangers, and who are they?"
1284Where did they keep you?"
1284Where is he?"
1284Where is that black rascal?
1284Who admitted you at the gate?"
1284Who are you fellows, anyhow, and what''s your game?"
1284Who is that man?
1284Why did you come on my grounds?"
1284Why do n''t you come out and enjoy life?"
1284Why do n''t you get busy on that end of the game, Tom?"
1284Will you go for a flight with me?"
1284Would Tom''s hopes be justified or would he be disappointed?
1284Would you like to come along?"
1284You admit that you do n''t want me-- that you never wanted me-- so why do you keep me a prisoner?
1284You are doing a lot of government work, are you not?"
1284You are open to a business proposition, are n''t you?"
1284You did n''t do that, did you?"
1284Your father has n''t reached home yet?
1284broke in Tom,"but by Lydane do you mean the man who also posed as Bower, the spy?"
1284but what happened?"
1284cried Mr. Damon,"but are you seeing things?"
1284cried Mr. Damon,"who do you think it could have been, Tom?"
1284cried Mr. Gale,"you mean you wo n''t accept our offer?"
1284do you mean a wild beast, Tom?"
1284what of that cry we heard?
1284what''s the matter?"
1284you''re not going to back out the last minute, are you?"
2065A steering wheel?
2065Accident? 2065 Ah, what''s the matter with you?
2065All ready?
2065Am I to do anything?
2065And after that, are you still going to build an airship?
2065And be killed?
2065And did you really come all the way from Hamilton Corners to New York in your airship?
2065And do you intend to get the government prize in that-- that contraption?
2065And stay here all night?
2065And that cabin is where we''ll stay; is that it?
2065And where is your official army timekeeper?
2065And you found something wrong with the gyroscope, when you took it from the airship; did n''t you?
2065Another airship; eh?
2065Anybody else going?
2065Are they coming here? 2065 Are we going to have any time at all in New York?"
2065Are we the first to cross the continent?
2065Are you going in for it?
2065Are you going to make a landing to save him?
2065Are you going to serve meals aboard here?
2065Are you hurt?
2065Are you hurt?
2065Are you indeed?
2065Are you much hurt?
2065Are you ready for a bath?
2065Are you really going in for it, Dick?
2065Are you sure?
2065Be you plumb crazy?
2065Building an airship; eh?
2065But ca n''t you get the money any easier way?
2065But how are we going to get information from them?
2065But how are you going to do it?
2065But how in the world did you come to take up aviation, Larry?
2065But part of yours is good; is n''t it?
2065But what water can it be?
2065But wo n''t you let me send you to the station in the auto? 2065 Ca n''t you forget, for a while, that you''re at a military school, old man, and not give us the sort of stuff we get in class all the while?"
2065Ca n''t you guide her?
2065Can I relieve you?
2065Can he be out on deck?
2065Can we have gone in the wrong direction, and be back over the Atlantic?
2065Can you arrange to have a wireless outfit on my airship?
2065Can you come for a ride tomorrow?
2065Can you make out who they are, Dick?
2065Can you save him?
2065Can you save the others?
2065Could n''t you look around and get a second- hand one?
2065Dick, will you forgive me, and shake hands?
2065Did I say all that?
2065Did I win the race?
2065Did Vardon and Jack get here? 2065 Did n''t you hear, Uncle Ezra?"
2065Did they hit us?
2065Did you want to see me?
2065Do I?
2065Do n''t be mean?
2065Do n''t you call my studies at Kentfield something, Uncle Ezra?
2065Do n''t you fellows want to try your hand at steering?
2065Do n''t you s''pose I''ve got any friends but girls?
2065Do you fear something will go wrong?
2065Do you find anything wrong?
2065Do you know how long you have been, so far, Dick, on the trip?
2065Do you know what you are saying, Jack? 2065 Do you really think he is going to have a try for the government prize?"
2065Do you see that notice?
2065Do you think airships will ever carry light artillery, or drop bombs on an enemy?
2065Does he look like a collector?
2065Does that mean-- er-- more money?
2065Ezra, be you goin''up in that contraption?
2065Feel all right?
2065First name Grace, lives somewhere up in Central Park, West; eh, old chap?
2065Going to take her up, Dick?
2065Had we better descend?
2065Had we better go any higher?
2065Has anybody got a gun?
2065Has anything happened to him?
2065Have n''t you any soap aboard?
2065Have you any engagement for tonight?
2065Have you decided to let your son have an airship of his own?
2065Have you given up reporting?
2065Hello, what''s this?
2065Here, where you takin''that?
2065Hey, what do you fellers mean-- smashing down out of the clouds, bustin''up my pig pen, and scatterin''''em to the four winds?
2065How about it, Larry?
2065How are we coming on?
2065How are we going to get out?
2065How are you coming on?
2065How do you do?
2065How do you like it?
2065How does it feel to sail above the clouds?
2065How does the gyroscope stabilizer work?
2065How in the world did you get here? 2065 How is she coming, Dick?"
2065How long do you figure you will take for the trip?
2065How long?
2065How much space left, Dick?
2065How we going to get him up?
2065How you going to get at it to inspect it?
2065How you making it, Dick?
2065How, I''d like to know? 2065 I have some friends there, and--""I believe her name is Knox; is n''t it?"
2065I presume you will go with me when me make the first ascent; will you not?
2065I suppose you birdmen are used to accidents like this?
2065I was?
2065I will, hey? 2065 I wonder how some of our competitors are making out?
2065I wonder if anyone could have done that on purpose?
2065I wonder if he can stay here?
2065I wonder if he--"What?
2065I wonder if it was the fire Grit was anticipating all the while he acted so queer?
2065I wonder if we can fly back?
2065I wonder what has become of him?
2065I wonder what he wants of me?
2065I wonder what he wants?
2065I wonder what it''s all about? 2065 I wonder what will happen before we dance with them again?"
2065I wonder what''s the matter?
2065I wonder whatever''s got into him?
2065In trouble again?
2065Is he here?
2065Is he rich?
2065Is it another fire?
2065Is it possible? 2065 Is it possible?"
2065Is n''t there any place we could go to a dance?
2065Is n''t there some shed around here where we could leave it, so it would be safe?
2065Is she responding all right?
2065Is she working all right, Lieutenant Larson?
2065Is something going to blow up?
2065Is something wrong?
2065Is that so? 2065 Is the wireless working?"
2065Is there any of it there?
2065It does n''t look so-- does it?
2065Kentfield Military Academy?
2065Looks like it-- doesn''t it?
2065Morning?
2065No?
2065Not getting scared, are you?
2065Now the point is; What can we do?
2065Oh, I say?
2065Oh, cats, eh? 2065 Oh, do you do that?"
2065Oh, is that so? 2065 Oh, that''s the way of it?"
2065Oh, you will, eh?
2065Oh-- you mean him?
2065Or a missionary, looking for funds to buy pocket handkerchiefs for the heathen?
2065Or the Pacific?
2065Quick?
2065Ready with the wires?
2065Real news?
2065Rubber gloves?
2065Say, I wonder what''s come over Dick?
2065Say, ca n''t you drop us off?
2065Say, how big a machine are you going to have?
2065Say, how high are you going to take us?
2065Say, if she''s going to work this way what will happen when we start for San Francisco?
2065Say, is n''t this the limit? 2065 Say, it''s big; is n''t it?"
2065Say, what is this-- a swimming race?
2065Say, what''s the matter with you dudes, anyhow?
2065Say, who had the saw last?
2065See anything of any other craft?
2065Shall I?
2065So why ca n''t I contract with your cousin to make my airship for me? 2065 So you got here, after all, Dad?"
2065Something made to go wrong?
2065Something missing?
2065The girls? 2065 The question is, will you fellows take a chance with me in it?"
2065Then we really are n''t on the prize winning flight, yet?
2065Then you''re going to walk?
2065Think I want to go up and sit alongside of a girl with paws like these?
2065Want to take a chance?
2065Well, Dad, how are you?
2065Well, are we all here?
2065Well, what''s the matter now?
2065Well, where are we?
2065Well, you''re not on any regular news stunt just now; are you?
2065Well, young gentlemen, I suppose you have heard the news?
2065Well, your machine was tampered with; was n''t it, just before we sank into the river?
2065What about a hook?
2065What about leaving the airship all alone?
2065What about my hands?
2065What are you going to do with the money?
2065What are you going to do?
2065What contraptions? 2065 What d''ye mean, comin''down in my orchard, and bustin''up my best Baldwin tree?
2065What did he want?
2065What do you mean?
2065What do you reckon an airship ought to cost?
2065What do you want of gasolene?
2065What foolishness is this?
2065What happened?

2065Who?
2065Whose is it?
2065Why ca n''t we stay over a day or so in New York?
2065Why do n''t you blush, Dick?
2065Why do n''t you make a try for the prize?
2065Why do n''t you try it now?
2065Why not head for Chicago?
2065Why not try your boat over the water? 2065 Why not?"
2065Why not?
2065Why, what in the world is the matter?
2065Why?
2065Will she be safe?
2065Will that satisfy you?
2065Will you come?
2065Will you see him?
2065Will you show us how the steps go?
2065Will you?
2065Wo n''t you call it eight?
2065Yes, Larry Dexter-- you remember him?
2065You do n''t mean to tell me you have undertaken the important work of constructing an aeroplane so soon after coming from the military academy?
2065You just ca n''t keep out of the kitchen; can you?
2065You mean a wheel to twist?
2065You mean about the airship instruction we are to get here, sir?
2065You mean-- Larson?
2065You''re going to take Grit along; are n''t you?
2065You''re not crowding her though, are you? 2065 You''re not worrying, though, are you?"
2065And I reckon you''ll have to spend more for fixing her up; wo n''t you?"
2065And was that your craft?"
2065And-- and are you-- are you goin''to go up in one of them things-- them airships?"
2065Anything you fellows would like, especially?"
2065Are n''t you the reporter who worked up that stolen boy case?"
2065Are you holding her all right, Dick?"
2065Are you interested?"
2065Are you there, Nephew Richard?
2065As the old lady said of the train that came to a sudden halt because of a collision,''do you always land this way?''"
2065Burglars?"
2065But have you made your official entry for the prize yet?"
2065But shall we try to get this machine out of the shed?"
2065But what in the world is he up to, anyhow?
2065But what were those things like little ants, crawling over the campus?
2065But who''d give him such a contract, especially after this accident?
2065CHAPTER III DICK''S RESOLVE"What do you know about that?"
2065CHAPTER XI A SURPRISE"Toss over that monkey wrench; will you?"
2065CHAPTER XVI DICK IS WARNED"What''s the matter?"
2065CHAPTER XXIII AN IMPROMPTU RACE"How''s she running?"
2065CHAPTER XXIX THE RIVAL AIRSHIP"What did it?"
2065CHAPTER XXXI THE WRECK"What do they mean?"
2065Ca n''t you use that?"
2065Can Ezra have lost money on some of his investments?
2065Can you see anything of him?"
2065Could n''t he write?
2065Could they win under such adverse circumstances?
2065Did n''t that officer say something about a restaurant around here?"
2065Did you bring any tackle along, Dick?"
2065Do n''t you always do your share of the camp cooking when we go off on hikes and practice marches?"
2065Do yon think he would like to take the contract from me?"
2065Do you mean to say you''re goin''in for any such foolishness as that?"
2065Do you want to try to steer her?"
2065Grit barked so persistently that Dick called to Paul:"See what ails him; will you?
2065Had the motive power come in time, or would they land on the hill?
2065Hamilton?"
2065Have I got to do it all?"
2065Have they started work?"
2065He gave a sudden start, at some noise, and cried out:"What''s that?
2065How is she doing?"
2065How much do you want?"
2065How you making out, Dick?"
2065How''d you come to open that?"
2065I mean we can go faster; ca n''t we?"
2065I presume you expected us?"
2065I suppose it wo n''t do any good to say we''re sorry; will it?"
2065I wonder about where we are, anyhow?
2065I wonder if we''ll have a race at the end?"
2065I wonder what I''d better call her?
2065I wonder what it can be?"
2065If that gets afire we''ll want to escape; wo n''t we?
2065Is n''t that a good name for your craft, Dick?"
2065Is there a telephone around here?"
2065Larson hesitated a moment, and resumed:"Well, then it is too late; I suppose?
2065Now, how about you fellows coming on a cruise in the clouds with me?"
2065Say, Mr. Vardon, when do you expect our engine?"
2065Suppose we try to go up?"
2065Think I''m going to tramp on the hard sidewalks and wear out my shoe leather?"
2065Vardon?"
2065Was something wrong?
2065What d''ye mean?"
2065What do you mean?
2065What for?"
2065What is it, old boy?"
2065What is it?
2065What is your time?"
2065What you doing?"
2065What''s it all about, anyhow?
2065What''s that?"
2065What''s that?"
2065What''s this mean?"
2065When he came back to the starting point he asked:"Well, will you take a chance?"
2065When one,( in this case Larson) was announced by Aunt Samantha, Mr. Larabee asked:"Does he look like an agent?"
2065Where are the extinguishers?"
2065Where are the gloves?"
2065Which way are you steering?"
2065Who could help it?"
2065Who would tamper with my machine?"
2065Why are you so careful about it now?"
2065Why do n''t you try for that?"
2065Why not rest on the surface of the lake until morning?
2065Why not?"
2065Will they-- er-- cost money?"
2065Will you accept a position as instructor?"
2065Will you come?"
2065You did n''t dare bring your bulldog in here, did you, Nephew Richard?
2065You have enough oil and gasolene, have you not?"
2065You say Paul and Innis are coming on?"
2065You''ll have to order certain parts made up, wo n''t you?"
2065You''re sure he ai n''t a book peddler?"
2065interrupted Mr. Larabee,"this ai n''t no lottery scheme; is it?
25811All right,declared Ralph, meekly accepting his fate,"but will you kindly tell me what a Thread and Needle Race is?"
25811And are these our things you have in the wagon? 25811 And how do you explain the Indian squaw''s feeling against the name of Latham?"
25811And what do you think? 25811 And why did you knock on our door at this time of the evening, without informing us who you were?"
25811And wo n''t you go down to the village, and stay with Naki and Ceally until Eunice comes back?
25811And you remember Bab said she was going to discover, on that drive, what connection Eunice had with the Latham family?
25811Are not you and your grandchild the last of your race? 25811 Are you Naki and Ceally?"
25811Are you afraid of me?
25811Are you going, Miss Sallie?
25811Are you nervous about our riding this afternoon?
25811Are you preparing to be a lawyer''s clerk that you spend your spare hours poring over musty business papers?
25811Aunt Sallie,Ruth asked, as soon as the doctor left,"may I have Eunice up at the hotel with us, as soon as she is well enough to leave the hospital?"
25811Bab,Grace asked, joining the two sisters,"why did you spend so much time out in that shed looking at airship models?
25811Bab,said Mollie, after a moment''s pause,"has n''t it been dreadfully dull since Ruth and her father went away?
25811Barbara, what is the matter with you?
25811Build a fire?
25811But I am coming back next summer to see you and my grandmother?
25811But how did you find us, Hugh?
25811But how shall we get a doctor up there?
25811But what shall we do now?
25811But what will Aunt Sallie say?
25811But where are Ruth and Grace?
25811But where is the guard house please, Miss Sallie?
25811But why, my child?
25811But wo n''t you come again, Eunice?
25811But wo n''t you let me thank you for leading my sister to me? 25811 But you are not afraid of your uncle, are you?"
25811But you will come back again, in a week or two wo n''t you?
25811But you will come with us, if your grandmother says you may?
25811But, Eunice,Mollie inquired, more and more puzzled by the girl''s appearance and conversation,"are you a pure- blooded Indian?
25811Can I help either of you?
25811Can it be possible?
25811Can you manage to walk? 25811 Children, what on earth is the matter?"
25811Did Uncle Ralph write you about this?
25811Did some one speak to me?
25811Did you ever see anything in the world so funny? 25811 Did you hear some one calling?"
25811Did you like Reginald Latham to- day, Bab?
25811Do I look as though I meant to harm you? 25811 Do I look like the bogie man, who lives in the woods and comes to steal away naughty children?"
25811Do n''t ask Bab? 25811 Do n''t you know what a kiss is, Eunice?
25811Do n''t you think we had better go up to the wigwam?
25811Do you know what I suddenly thought, when Bab and I saw that great white object come sailing over our heads this afternoon? 25811 Do you know, Bab, I am much interested in our little Indian girl?
25811Do you mean you have found out about Eunice?
25811Do you remember, Bab? 25811 Do you remember,"she asked,"a paragraph in the first geography you studied at school?
25811Do you think I had better go ahead, Naki?
25811Do you think you and Ralph can stay for our coon hunt, Hugh?
25811Do you think you can manage, Miss Sallie?
25811Does Miss Sallie know?
25811Eunice,Ruth asked,"do you know what a present is?"
25811Eunice,Ruth asked,"do you remember your father and mother?"
25811Eunice,asked Mollie,"are you going for a ride in the big balloon I showed you yesterday as we rode away from the hospital?"
25811Eunice,she asked,"do you still wear the gold chain around your neck?
25811Give me your handkerchief, please?
25811Gone where?
25811Grace, have you finished making your speech?
25811Grace,she asked,"will you be a perfect dear?
25811Has n''t she been shooting with you? 25811 Have we arrived?"
25811Have you any memorandum among your husband''s papers which would prove that the money was returned to him before his death?
25811Have you any money, girls?
25811Have you grown suddenly deaf? 25811 Have you talked with Mollie?"
25811How could I possibly light a fire?
25811How could it, Barbara, dear?
25811How could you be so horrid, Mollie?
25811How dare you take all the bacon, when you have just declared it was so delicious? 25811 How did I know?"
25811How did you happen to bring the horse over?
25811How did you know?
25811How do you do?
25811How long must we wait?
25811I am sorry, Mr. Latham,she exclaimed politely,"but we have planned to do some target practice in the morning?
25811I hate good- byes, do n''t you, Aunt Sallie?
25811I presume,Mr. Stuart said quietly to Bab,"that your uncle settled this debt years ago; but if he did, why was the note never canceled?"
25811I wonder if that is true?
25811I wonder,said Mollie to Grace, as she finally followed her into bed,"what wonderful adventures we shall have in this forest?
25811I wonder,she thought at last,"if I can persuade Ruth to go to college with me?"
25811I wonder,thought Mollie,"if, somehow, I have struck the famous''Lost Man''s Trail?''
25811If I tell you,she implored,"will you promise me by the stars never to betray me?
25811If you are n''t sharing your money with us by giving us all these good times, what are you doing? 25811 Is Mollie growing worldly wise, Hugh?"
25811Is a man riding on that great, great big bird?
25811Is anything the matter?
25811Is coon hunting a cruel sport, Ralph?
25811Is it the great white spirit, my grandmother has told me about?
25811Is it true, father?
25811Is n''t the scenery just too perfect for words?
25811Is n''t this a dangerous business?
25811Is that what is preying on my hospitable aunt''s mind all this time?
25811Is the old woman also named Eunice?
25811Is there some one down there in the woods?
25811Is this game for women only?
25811Is this why you are not pleased to see us? 25811 Is your guide an Indian?"
25811It is rather dirty work, is n''t it?
25811Kindly explain to me, Ruth,asked Hugh, as the party finally started,"why you are carrying those two large bolts of ribbon?
25811May Eunice go away with us now?
25811May I inquire what you are doing, Barbara?
25811May I take your teacup from you?
25811May we count on you for the Gymkana races, Ruth?
25811May we, Miss Sallie? 25811 May we, Miss Sallie?"
25811Miss Sallie,inquired Barbara, an hour later,"will Mollie and I do for the call at the Ambassador''s?
25811Miss Stuart,he asked,"will you or your friends drive a turkey, a duck, a hen, or a gander in our Gymkana race?
25811Mollie, I do n''t want to be a croaker,began Bab, after a little hesitation,"but have you noticed that mother seems worried about something?
25811Mr. Latham, are you ill?
25811Mrs. Thurston,inquired Ruth,"do n''t you dearly love''The Automobile Girls''?"
25811My dear child, what is the matter now?
25811Naki,Miss Sallie asked,"at daylight, to- morrow, will you go to the old squaw''s wigwam?
25811Now, Mother Eunice,Mollie ended,"wo n''t you let little Eunice go away with us this afternoon, instead?
25811Now, does everybody understand about to- morrow?
25811Of course, Miss Sallie knows we are going to practise shooting?
25811Oh, I say, Miss Stuart,he quizzed in the affected fashion that so angered Mollie,"ca n''t you trust me to look after Miss Thurston?
25811Oh, Ruth,cried Barbara,"could it be a signal from Mollie?"
25811Oh, must you go so soon, boys?
25811Please, Miss Sallie,she cried hastily,"may Naki and I go out to look for Mollie?
25811Ralph Ewing and Hugh Post, where did you come from?
25811Ralph, or Hugh?
25811Ruth and Mollie are late in getting back, are n''t they?
25811Ruth,continued Miss Sallie severely,"what are you and Barbara doing in those clothes?
25811Shall I ask her?
25811Shall I ask the other girls to come in?
25811Shall we have tea out on our veranda, Barbara?
25811Suppose, I do have to stay in the woods all night?
25811Tell me,Barbara continued,"no one has properly explained it to me how you happened to be at the right place just at the right moment?
25811Then who has given Beauty to us?
25811Wait a second, Eunice?
25811Was this money paid you by your brother when he settled your estate?
25811Well girls,Mollie continued,"do you recall that Bab went driving, a few days ago, with Reginald Latham, Mr. Winthrop Latham and Aunt Sallie?"
25811Well then, Aunt Sallie, we have no choice in the matter, have we?
25811Well,continued Ruth,"you remember about the little Indian girl whom Bab accidentally shot yesterday?
25811What about Grace?
25811What are we to do? 25811 What are you going to do now, Ruth Stuart?"
25811What do you mean,demanded Ruth and Mollie,"by going off on such a mysterious errand?
25811What do you mean?
25811What do you say,continued Miss Stuart,"to our going back to civilization?
25811What do you think has happened?
25811What does Uncle Ralph propose that we do? 25811 What else can we do?"
25811What experiment do you intend to try?
25811What has happened to you?
25811What have you done to your silly little self? 25811 What in the world can you mean?"
25811What is it Hugh?
25811What is it, Ceally?
25811What is it, Miss Sallie?
25811What is it?
25811What is our guide''s outlandish name?
25811What is the child talking about?
25811What is the matter with Miss Mollie Thurston this morning? 25811 What is the matter with you, Mollie?
25811What is the matter with you, Reginald?
25811What money should have been paid by my brother years ago? 25811 What on earth has happened this time?"
25811What on earth is it?
25811What on earth shall we do? 25811 What on earth''s the matter, Bab?"
25811What shall we do to help with the preparations, Miss Sallie?
25811What should we expect to sleep on except the floor or the ground? 25811 What then, Aunt Sallie?"
25811What woman and her son came to your house to see this squaw?
25811What would Aunt Sallie say if she could see us opening our mail on the street?
25811What''s the joke?
25811What''s the matter?
25811What''s the programme for to- day?
25811What''s up?
25811When do we start, Ruth?
25811When shall we go to see Eunice?
25811Where did you come from?
25811Where did you come from?
25811Where did you find my daughters? 25811 Where have you been, Mollie?"
25811Where is''Automobile Girl''number four?
25811Where''s Mollie?
25811Who are you?
25811Who could wish to steal a poor little Indian girl? 25811 Who is out there?"
25811Who is this Indian girl? 25811 Who knows indeed, Barbara?"
25811Who knows what a day may bring forth?
25811Who knows what luck they may bring to us? 25811 Who knows?
25811Who on earth can they be?
25811Who''s there?
25811Who?
25811Why are you alone?
25811Why ca n''t I come up and help with the teaching? 25811 Why did you come here?"
25811Why do n''t you get up? 25811 Why do you ask me, doctor?"
25811Why do you do such a strange thing to me?
25811Why is everybody looking so serious?
25811Why not come and see all of us? 25811 Why not, Mollie?"
25811Why not?
25811Why not?
25811Why should it not be well with me?
25811Why should n''t Dorothy Morton sell Beauty to a girl who cares more for the horse than Dorothy does?
25811Why should she be afraid of the law?
25811Why should there be any running away with the child?
25811Why, Bab,asked Mollie sleepily,"when did you and Ruth find me?
25811Why, Eunice,Mollie asked quietly,"are you not glad to see your friends?"
25811Why, Eunice?
25811Why, Mollie, do n''t you think that is a good enough explanation of Reginald Latham''s attitude toward Eunice?
25811Why, what do you mean?
25811Why, who would wish to steal her from you?
25811Will some one take the child away?
25811Will you come to our little private balcony? 25811 Will you go with me to see her at ten o''clock to- morrow morning, Miss Stuart?"
25811Will you sew the button on for me, Mollie?
25811Wo n''t you come in and have a game of archery with us to- morrow afternoon? 25811 You are alone, are n''t you?"
25811You are not angry with me for going off with Reginald Latham last night are you? 25811 You are not angry with me?"
25811You are the girls, are n''t you, who have been camping on one of our Berkshire hills?
25811You do n''t mean to say that Barbara and Ruth have put Ralph''s name and mine down for three of your performances? 25811 You tell me this child''s name is Eunice?
25811You will not tell my grandmother?
25811You?
25811****** The Range and Grange Hustlers By FRANK GEE PATCHIN Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life on great ranches in the West?
25811Am I not safe in my own house?
25811And how did Mollie find you to tell you I was concealed in the woods with a sprained ankle?
25811And how was Reginald to be provided for?
25811And what is the name of that hill over there?
25811And, could it be possible?
25811Are n''t you just a little glad to see us?"
25811Are n''t you, Bab?"
25811Are not the four of us going?
25811Are you going into the millinery business to- day?"
25811Are you perfectly sure you do not feel afraid?"
25811But I wonder if you are really interested in the girl, or whether you are being kind to her, now, only because of her accident?"
25811But did they hear a low moan like the sound of a wounded dove?
25811But girls do n''t care for such weepy books nowadays, do they?
25811But how could I dream of what I knew nothing?"
25811But is it well with you?"
25811But this Indian child, where did she come from?
25811But was it quite fair of you to come each morning to our windows, and then fly away again before anyone could see you?"
25811But what about Eunice and her protectors?
25811But what''s the matter with you, Bab?"
25811But why introduce the Indians?"
25811But would you mind glancing at them, please?"

25811Can we be of any assistance to you?"
25811Can you not hear when you are spoken to?"
25811Can you tell us the name?"
25811Come, Mrs. Thurston,"questioned Mr. Stuart,"do n''t you think this is a good scheme for everyone?"
25811Coming, child?"
25811Could it be laughter?
25811Could it be the famous ghost of Lost Man''s Trail?
25811Could it be the ghost?
25811Could you, would you, just give us each a hunk of bread to stay our appetites?"
25811Did Ruth remember to tell you that the British Ambassador''s daughters, Dorothy and Gwendolin Morton, are coming in to tea?
25811Did his better nature move him?
25811Did they call her Eunice?

25811Do any of you ride horseback well enough to go in for the hurdle jumping?
25811Do n''t you smell something horrible?"
25811Do n''t you wish to come with us?"
25811Do you feel equal to another aerial flight?"
25811Do you know what an uncle is?"
25811Do you ride, Miss Thurston?"
25811Do you suppose she would like the change?"
25811Do you think Miss Sallie will ever forgive me?"
25811Do you think they will ever come back?
25811Do you think, Miss Sallie, we girls have a right to betray the old Indian woman''s secrets?"
25811Dorothy inquired, turning first to Ruth, then to Bab, Mollie and Grace,"May I put down your names for this race?"
25811Girls, if I tell you something will you promise me not to laugh?
25811Had her visitor been a real girl, or was Mollie bewitched by a brown elf?
25811Had she been asleep and dreamed of Ruth?
25811Have n''t I told you?
25811Have you ever been to school?"
25811Have you seen this girl?"
25811He merely inquired coldly:"How are you, Mollie?"
25811How could Dorothy Morton ever have been willing to sell her?"
25811How could she ask for it when you alone knew of the debt and kept the matter a secret?
25811How could we have dreamed the child was hiding in the underbrush?
25811How could we know she was hiding near us?
25811How did you happen to light a fire before you awakened me?"
25811How did you spend the afternoon, dear?
25811How is Grace''s headache?
25811How shall we manage then?
25811How was she to protect the interests of Eunice without accusing Mr. Latham''s relatives of evil designs against the child?
25811I would like to know, Bab, how you and I are to get the thing to the ground?"
25811If he never has paid it, can he be forced to do so now?"
25811If we are to enjoy Lenox, and all the delights it offers, do n''t you think it is about time we were moving there?
25811In a voice that only Mollie, who stood near, could hear she asked:"My little wood pigeon is wounded?
25811In two years more she would be ready to enter, but where was the money to come from?
25811Is anyone near?"
25811Is my heart good?"
25811Is n''t it too wonderful?"
25811Is n''t that great?"
25811Is she much hurt, Naki?"
25811Latham?"
25811May I, Miss Stuart?"
25811Miss Stuart looked up from her eggs and toast:"What are you children quarreling about?"
25811Monument Mountain, did you say?
25811Oh, Bab, what shall we do?"
25811Oh, it simply ca n''t be true----""What ca n''t be true, mother?"
25811Oh, what, what can we do?"
25811Please explain?"
25811Remember the first time we saw her, Hugh?
25811Shall I send her a dress of mine?"
25811Shall we open the door?"
25811Shall your name forever sound in my ears?
25811So that is the name Lenox has given to its latest form of social entertainment?"
25811That is an English game, is n''t it?
25811That reminds me, are we ever going to break bread again?
25811Then she had gone-- where?
25811Think you can climb the hill back of us?"
25811This time the voice came through the megaphone:"Can you get me help?
25811Want to, Bab?"
25811Was it Mollie''s voice calling her?
25811Was it a boy or girl?
25811Was it human or a sprite?
25811Was n''t it too absurd?
25811Was the child dreaming?
25811We must make her understand that Mrs. Latham and Reginald are her enemies, we are her friends----""Is that all, Bab?"
25811What are you talking about, Ruth?
25811What chance had the child and her ignorant, uncivilized grandmother against him?
25811What connection could she have with these two men of wealth and position?
25811What did it all mean?
25811What did we see?
25811What do you think of my serious- minded father?
25811What had become of Naki?
25811What had happened at the log cabin, meantime?
25811What has come over her?
25811What have you planned?"
25811What on earth do you suppose he and his mother could have against a poor old squaw and her little girl?
25811What shall we do?
25811What was a handsome, middle- aged woman doing on top of a mountain?
25811What would then become of Eunice?
25811When can I see the Indian grandmother?"
25811When the girls filed into the living room for their lunch Bab asked carelessly:"Where''s Mollie?"
25811Where are the other girls and Aunt Sallie?"
25811Where did it come from?"
25811Where did you find her?"
25811Where is the carriage in which we are to drive?"
25811Where was the clue to the mystery?
25811Which was the right one?
25811Which way should she go?
25811Who could ever trace a child carried away in an airship?
25811Who do you think her visitors were?"
25811Who do you think she was?
25811Who in all this world has a claim on her but her poor old grandmother?
25811Who is?
25811Who knows but you will turn out the best sportsman in the lot?
25811Who knows what may be stored away in that little head of yours?
25811Why had she taken such a dislike to Reginald Latham?
25811Why had the name of Latham fired this old squaw to such a burst of fury?
25811Why were her only companions two charming young girls and a rough looking man and his wife?
25811Why, Mr. Stuart,"asked Ruth,"are Mollie and I not also invited to dinner?"
25811Will she be able to see our friends this afternoon?"
25811Will you promise?"
25811Wo n''t it be a jolly lark?"
25811Wo n''t you come to our hut?
25811Would you have helped pulled Reginald down out of his airship, if you had known how you would dislike him, Mollie?"
25811Would you like to try?"
25811You are my friends?"
25811You remember that we have spoken of her before?"
25811You would not sell me, would you?
25811cried Barbara,"what do you mean?"
25811she thought, finally,"what possible harm can it do Mr. Winthrop Latham to look at poor, pretty little Eunice?
1281A man-- what sort of a man?
1281A new balloon?
1281All ready?
1281And do you think you can put something like that on your guns, so the recoil will be taken up?
1281And is it only the recoil that is bothering you?
1281And is that what you did this time?
1281And now what are you going to do, Tom?
1281And that was-- what?
1281And then am I to go into the aeroplane shop?
1281And we''ve been running all night?
1281And why have they singled me out?
1281And you say they are not friends of yours?
1281And you think spies set this fire?
1281And you''re working on something new?
1281And, to prevent that, they want to destroy some of my inventions?
1281Any bad news?
1281Any danger of using water there?
1281Are any of the new men employed on the Mars?
1281Are the French in it?
1281Are there any of the foreigners back there?'' 1281 Are there foreigners here?"
1281Are they friendly among themselves?
1281Are they friends of yours?
1281Are they really foreign spies?
1281Are we near the sea?
1281Are you going far?
1281Are you going to do that, Tom?
1281Are you going to try the bomb- dropping device?
1281Are you ready?
1281Are you really going to fire the guns?
1281Are you sure of that?
1281Are you sure they are strong enough?
1281Are you willing to listen to reason?
1281Are you with me for a long flight, Ned?
1281Are-- are we all right?
1281As bad as that, eh, Tom?
1281Bad man put it there?
1281Been having trouble here?
1281But about this Frenchman?
1281But are you going to let the red shed burn?
1281But every once in a while he put in some question about the fire, or about our shops, did n''t he, Rad?
1281But had n''t you better see those men who are waiting to find out about positions here?
1281But how much longer can they keep it up?
1281But what I wanted to know is, did you see anyone near the red shed at the time?
1281But what are you going to do about it?
1281But what are you going to do, Tom, if you do n''t use water?
1281But what good would it do me if I could n''t read it?
1281But what happened to the others-- to Mound, Ventor and Koku?
1281But what measures shall I adopt against this plot?
1281But what object would they have in doing such a thing?
1281But when are you going to try the guns?
1281But where are the bombs I heard you speaking of?
1281But where did they come from? 1281 But who would play such a trick?"
1281But why not, as long as the United States does not intend to go to war with any of the foreign nations?
1281But why start at night?
1281But wo n''t it be risky?
1281Can it be possible?
1281Can you get her around?
1281Certainly-- why not?
1281Chances?
1281Damage? 1281 Danger, eh?"
1281Did I? 1281 Did he say where his mother lived?"
1281Did he seem especially interested in the fire?
1281Did something hit it; or did it hit something?
1281Did you attack Koku?
1281Did you come on from Washington yesterday?
1281Did you have an accident?
1281Did you hear it?
1281Did-- did anything hit me?
1281Do you mean he is in danger?
1281Do you mean that you four came into this shop, at midnight, to damage the Mars?
1281Do you mean to say you''re going to give up and let this burn?
1281Do you mean upside down, Tom?
1281Do you mean you are not allowed to tell?
1281Do you really mean it?
1281Do you really mean that?
1281Do you really think that, Tom?
1281Do you really think they would do me bodily harm?
1281Do you suppose that hammer man of yours came to these woods to meet that Frenchman and talk about you, Tom?
1281Do you suppose the danger is all over, Tom?
1281Do you suppose they are being attacked?
1281Do you think he''ll come to bargain with Eradicate about the mule?
1281Do you think it was done purposely?
1281Do you think it will?
1281Do you think that is their object?
1281Do you think we''d better put on life preservers, Tom?
1281Do you-- do you think we are in any danger?
1281Drop them on other air craft?
1281Excuse the slang, Tom, but what in the world is a hydrostatic valve?
1281Ghosts?
1281Go off? 1281 Guns and all?"
1281Harrison, who has been working on the motor?
1281Has anything gone wrong?
1281Has that plot Lieutenant Marbury spoke of developed?
1281Has war been declared?
1281Have they done anything to make you feel that way?
1281Have they really learned anything?
1281Have they really tried to damage the big gun?
1281Have you any idea who it could be, Tom?
1281Have you any of your guns ready?
1281He does, eh?
1281Here, Rad, where are you going?
1281How about those diamond- makers, whose secret you discovered? 1281 How do you know?"
1281How is it now?
1281How is it working, Feldman?
1281How was it?
1281How was that? 1281 How would that help France, Germany or Russia, to do me an injury?"
1281How yo''all done guess dat?
1281How''d you happen to see the red shed ablaze?
1281How''s that?
1281I done did prognosticate dat some day de combustible material of which dat shed am composed would conflaggrate--"What''s the matter?
1281I know that-- but what kind?
1281I wonder if Mr. Damon did? 1281 I wonder if that can be Eradicate''s Frenchman?"
1281I wonder what Tom is going to do?
1281I wonder what for? 1281 I wonder what their game is, anyhow?"
1281I wonder,said Tom slowly,"if any of the new men could have obtained work here for the purpose of furthering that plot the lieutenant suspects?
1281If we get as much recoil from the two guns, what would happen if we fired them all at once?
1281If you will listen to reason--"Which kind-- yours or ours?
1281Is he going to run away from the fire?
1281Is he one of the--?
1281Is that likely to go off?
1281Is that so?
1281Is that so?
1281Is that understood?
1281Is that what makes you look so blue?
1281Is that what they did?
1281Is there anything of value in the shed?
1281It would n''t be Andy Foger, would it?
1281Just how fast do you think you can travel when you are in first- class shape?
1281Just what are you trying to find out, Tom?
1281Know anything about dirigible balloons?
1281Koku work hammer, maybe?
1281Much loss, Tom?
1281No one hurt, Massa Tom? 1281 No one is trying to take any of your pet inventions away from you, is there?"
1281Not one of those you''re going to use on your aerial warship, is it, Tom?
1281Now, what do you say to tackling, with me, that recoil problem on the aerial warship?
1281Oh, Tom, what is it?
1281Oh, Tom, you will be careful, wo n''t you?
1281Oh, is my father here?
1281Oh, it''s you, is it, Koku?
1281Oh, so that''s it?
1281Oh, you think it''s something explosive, eh?
1281On the part of whom?
1281Puzzled?
1281Rad, just exactly what sort of a man was this one you speak of?
1281Shall we make the try now?
1281So you''re going to give the guns a real test this time, is that it, Tom?
1281Something go wrong?
1281Something wrong?
1281Something wrong?
1281Succeeded in what?
1281Suppose I take a look?
1281Suppose we wait until morning?
1281The question is-- what are we going to do?
1281The recoil?
1281The what?
1281Then we are out over the ocean again, Tom?
1281Then why were these men discussing you?
1281Then you are going to make a go of it?
1281Then you did n''t tell this queer stranger, Frenchman, or whatever he is, much about my place?
1281Then you did n''t travel fast during the night?
1281Then you have n''t actually tried it out yet?
1281Then you intend to fight with this ship?
1281Then you think I should promise not to raise a row?
1281Then you think it will work, Tom?
1281Then you''re going to do the same with this aerial warship as you did with your big lantern and that immense gun you perfected?
1281Then you''re going to put several guns on the Mars?
1281Then you''re not going to give up your aerial warship idea?
1281Then you''re really going to give the Mars that test?
1281There it goes?
1281Think you put too heavy a load on the motor?
1281Tom, however did you do it?
1281Tom, what is it?
1281Up in the air, do you mean?
1281Visiting?
1281Warning? 1281 Was anyone hurt?"
1281Was that out of order again?
1281Was this a conspiracy?
1281Well, I mean are you sure your craft will stand all this straining, pulling and hauling?
1281Well, Ned, any luck?
1281Well, Tom, how did it go?
1281Well, Tom, how was it?
1281Well, as long as I''m behind the guns I''m all right, I suppose?
1281Well, has n''t it done you good to take a day off?
1281Well, is n''t that what you want at a fire-- water?
1281Well, is she a success, Tom?
1281Well, what are you going to tackle next, Tom?
1281Well, what do you make of it, Tom?
1281Well, what have you been doing?
1281Well, what is it then? 1281 Well, what is it, then?"
1281Well, what is it?
1281Well, where would be a good place to begin to burrow out?
1281Well?
1281Were any strangers in this cabin before the start was made?
1281What are you going to do about it?
1281What can he be planning?
1281What can he be up to?
1281What can this mean?
1281What do you mean by reason?
1281What do you mean?
1281What do you mean?
1281What does it all mean?'' 1281 What does it mean?"
1281What does this mean-- Ransom-- Kurdy?
1281What does this mean?
1281What else?
1281What happened there?
1281What happened?
1281What has happened?
1281What have you got it painted red for?
1281What is it, Mary?
1281What is it, Rad? 1281 What is it-- a way out?"
1281What is it-- air, earth or water?
1281What is it? 1281 What is it?"
1281What is it?
1281What is it?
1281What is it?
1281What is it?
1281What is that?
1281What is that?
1281What is to become of us? 1281 What made it break?"
1281What made you think that?
1281What man said that?
1281What part?
1281What particular ends do you mean?
1281What sort of a man was he, Rad?
1281What sort?
1281What was it, Tom?
1281What''s dat? 1281 What''s in that door- check?"
1281What''s next?
1281What''s that, Eradicate?
1281What''s the matter? 1281 What''s the matter?"
1281What''s the matter?
1281What''s the matter?
1281What''s up, Tom?
1281What''s up?
1281What, the hammer of the drop forger?
1281What-- what does it mean, Tom?
1281What?
1281When are they coming?
1281When do you expect the government experts?
1281Where''s I gwine, Massa Tom?
1281Who are you? 1281 Who else besides Feldman got away?"
1281Who tempted you?
1281Who was the fourth man?
1281Who''s Pierson?
1281Why against me?
1281Why not discharge the man?
1281Why not take up the recoil of the guns on your aerial warship by some such device as that?
1281Why not? 1281 Why not?"
1281Why, I wonder?
1281Why, you''re not frightened, are you?
1281Why?
1281Will you be a bit easy on us, considering what we told you?
1281Would n''t it be better to turn about, and run before the wind, so as not to put too great a strain on the machinery?
1281Would you really, Tom?
1281Yo''--yo''re a nice one, ai n''t yo''?
1281You are n''t going to fire those guns again; are you, Tom?
1281You did n''t think it would n''t go up, did you?
1281You do n''t mean that you''d take a fellow like that and put him to work on your new aerial warship, do you, Tom?
1281You do n''t mean to say you''re going to keep on, and with the balloon damaged; are you?
1281You mean some one purposely put that bomb in the red shed, Tom?
1281You mean trying to find out who these fellows are?
1281You mean we might fall?
1281You mean we will be-- later?
1281You swung your thoughts into a new channel, did n''t you?
1281You''re not going to use real bombs, are you, Tom?
1281Your enemies came aboard?
1281A sharp thought came to him-- how long would they be prisoners?
1281And did you not receive warning?"
1281And what had happened to the others of the crew-- Koku, Jerry Mound, the engineer, and George Ventor, the assistant pilot?
1281Are you sure one exists?"
1281Are you sure you do n''t want me to drop you in your own front yard, or even on your roof?
1281But Ned said again:"Would n''t that do, Tom?
1281But are you sure you had no word?"
1281But do you think this fellow had anything to do with the fire?"
1281But what does that smell like?"
1281But what is to be done, Tom?
1281But what was your object, anyhow, in attacking Koku?"
1281But what would happen when she headed into the storm?
1281But where did they come from?
1281But who is that with him?"
1281But why did they attack Koku?"
1281But you did n''t tell him much, did you?"
1281But you will be careful, wo n''t you?
1281But you''ve heard the proverb about giving a calf rope enough and he''ll hang himself, have n''t you?"
1281By the way, how is your mother?"
1281CHAPTER IX THE RECOIL CHECK"Who is that?"
1281CHAPTER X THE NEW MEN"What was the matter down there?"
1281CHAPTER XIX QUEER HAPPENINGS"Say, Tom, are you sure you''re all right?"
1281Could they have boarded us from some other airship?"
1281Did n''t you hear it?"
1281Did not some other, and more terrible, fate await them?
1281Do n''t you call nearly upsetting the ship danger?"
1281Foreign nations are getting ready large fleets of aerial warships, so why should n''t we?
1281Has anything gone wrong?"
1281Has anything troubled you?"
1281Have you it ready for a trial flight?"
1281How did it fall on the motor connections?"
1281How did she check up, Ned?"
1281How many are there?"
1281Hurray?
1281I guess I have n''t shown you my very latest; have I, Ned?"
1281I wonder how it started, anyhow?
1281I wonder if that Frenchy looking chap I saw was the one who tried to pump Eradicate?
1281I wonder if that could be true?"
1281I wonder what his game is?
1281I wonder what this can mean?
1281I wonder who it is?"
1281If they could take care of big Koku, what chance did we have?"
1281Is everything all right there, Koku?"
1281Is it rotten?"
1281Is the alarm ringing, Koku?"
1281Is there any, Tom?"
1281Koku, what happened to you?"
1281Let me see, she lives over near Lake Loraine, does n''t she?"
1281Mah mule afraid ob fire?"
1281Massa Tom say drop de hose, but how yo''gwine t''squirt watah on a fire wifout a hose; answer me dat?"
1281Mr. Damon, what is it?"
1281No harm in using water there, though; is there?"
1281Of what?"
1281Oh, you will be careful, wo n''t you, Tom?"
1281So he''s coming here later on, is he?"
1281Supposing something should-- should happen?"
1281Tell me, what did Ned mean when he hinted at danger?
1281They would n''t be trying to get back at you, would they?"
1281Want to come along, Ned?"
1281Well, Koku, what is it?"
1281What about dem dere fellers?"
1281What are you doing aboard my craft?
1281What did it all mean?
1281What did they mean by thus assaulting Tom and his companions?
1281What did you want?"
1281What do you mean?"
1281What does it all mean?"
1281What for?"
1281What has happened?
1281What has happened?"
1281What if the sudden fire, and the threatened danger, as well as the prospective loss that confronted Tom, had affected his mind?
1281What is it, one of your models?
1281What is it?"
1281What''s going on?"
1281What''s gotten into Tom, I''d like to know?
1281When Tom showed the message to Lieutenant Marbury, that official, after one glance at the signature, said:"Pierson, eh?
1281Where had the strange men come from?
1281Where were they hiding?"
1281Why ca n''t you go with Mary Nestor?
1281Why do you ask that?"
1281Will you do that?"
1281Will you?
1281You called, I presume, in reference to my aerial warship?"
1281You say you have had experience in airship construction?"
1281You would n''t call the recoil checks a success, would you?"
1281You''ll come, wo n''t you?"
46117''Meteor?''
46117A friend of yours, monsieur?
46117About two miles, eh? 46117 About what?"
46117All clear aft, there?
46117All ready, sir?
46117All ready?
46117All right, below there?
46117Am I hurt very much? 46117 And the motors, sir?"
46117And the reserve of ultra- hydrogen?
46117And the submarine plans?
46117And the wireless room?
46117And the''Meteor''?
46117And what then, señor?
46117And where is Admiral Maynebrace?
46117Any of the''Meteor''s''men?
46117Anyone hurt?
46117Anything in sight?
46117Anything wrong?
46117Are n''t you afraid that some of them might betray your secret?
46117Are there no limits to your senseless pranks? 46117 Are we remaining here long, sir?"
46117Are you disguising yourself?
46117Are you fit to make a start?
46117Are you going to investigate, sir?
46117Are you going to let off a rocket, or hail them, sir?
46117Are you making another trip before you take her to Portsmouth?
46117Are you quite sure?
46117As a loan, then?
46117Before we go outside,he said, after lunch was over,"suppose we have a look at the workshops?"
46117Besides, supposing she keeps clear of the sea?
46117But Colonel Dacres?
46117But dash it all, what does he want to come just before tiffin for?
46117But how are the various divisions kept in position?
46117But how will they know we are not the enemy? 46117 But if Durango has n''t started yet and spots the''Meteor''approaching?
46117But in the event of her proving to be in the employ of a foreign power, how would you propose to collar her?
46117But is n''t Parsons doing well? 46117 But suppose we insist?"
46117But surely Durango will make a dash for the capital?
46117But surely you consider the part you played in the Valderian business a successful piece of work?
46117But the peons-- the Indian servants?
46117But you?
46117But, surely, if she were,demurred Setchell,"that rascal would n''t have the cheek to be taken on board?"
46117By the by, are you a''Varsity man?
46117By wireless?
46117Can I get a motor or a cab?
46117Can we get him across to the house before----?
46117Can you give five men a passage to Panama? 46117 Can you give me Colonel Dacres''present address?"
46117Can you land us at Zandovar?
46117Can you manage in an hour? 46117 Captain Whittinghame, I presume?"
46117Cranbury House, zur? 46117 Dacres in the Valderian service?"
46117Dacres?
46117Dead?
46117Dead?
46117Did I hear some one say''Question''?
46117Did you come here on your own initiative, sir?
46117Do you fancy a climb? 46117 Do you happen to know if he had any papers on him?"
46117Do you know any of these gentlemen, sir?
46117Do you know her name?
46117Do you know, there''s something remarkable about this wreckage?
46117Do you recognize this?
46117Do you think you could do better by descending about a mile from the prison and scaling the walls?
46117Does he say anything about the route?
46117Eh?
46117Excuse me, but would you mind telling me what you are?
46117Fill your pipe-- or do you prefer a cigar?
46117Five?
46117For what reason is Durango going to Nazca?
46117For why?
46117Fort San Josef evacuated? 46117 Garge, du''ee knaw whur be Cranbury''Ouse?"
46117Give you a cue-- what about?
46117Going?
46117Got to?
46117Governor in, Sparkes?
46117Guess you know I''ve got those two Valderians aboard?
46117Guess you''re the boss of this hyer packet?
46117Guess you''ve come to take that wild critter off my hands? 46117 Has not the gas to be released?"
46117Have any of you been climbing on the wreckage?
46117Have any persons attempted to trespass upon your property?
46117Have they collared him?
46117Have you a piece of boiler- plate handy?
46117Have you any sulphur on board, captain?
46117Have you seen anyone about?
46117Hear that?
46117His son? 46117 Hope you''ve covered up your tracks?"
46117How about sharks?
46117How do you think your brother will fare?
46117How goes it?
46117How goes it?
46117How long do you reckon this mad freak of yours will take?
46117How long, now?
46117How many?
46117How?
46117How?
46117How?
46117I am ready to abide by your decision, but could n''t I render some assistance by remaining with you? 46117 I believe, señor,"he remarked,"that you have an inventor who has built a kind of boat that is capable of flying?"
46117I hope you wo n''t mind if two of my officers accompany me?
46117I say, old man,he exclaimed,"what sort of enterprise have you embarked upon?"
46117I suppose we could, if necessary, rest on the surface of the sea and carry on under power?
46117I thought she was to operate on the east side of Naocuanha? 46117 I''m afraid I''m curious,"said Dacres,"but what will happen when we go''ashore''?
46117If it''s like this on the coast what will it be like over there, I wonder?
46117Important?
46117In what way?
46117Is my life guaranteed?
46117Is she fitted with slings?
46117Is that Commandante Vilano?
46117Is that all?
46117Is there a lamp burning?
46117Is there no place where I can hide in safety?
46117It''s a fairly easy path, I hope?
46117Just one minute, Mr. Dacres; will you please come on deck with me?
46117Left Naocuanha at seven? 46117 Look here, Dacres, old man,"Whittinghame suddenly exclaimed,"what do you say?
46117Might I make so bold as to suggest, sir?
46117More than likely; but to what end? 46117 Much amiss?"
46117My son-- is he dead?
46117Now are you convinced?
46117Now we can discuss this little matter, Mr.----?
46117Now what''s to be done with this lot, sir?
46117Now what''s to be done?
46117Now, all ready?
46117Now, having settled these points, suppose we make an examination of our own craft?
46117Oh-- how?
46117Oh? 46117 One above and one underneath the propeller covering?"
46117Only three? 46117 Perhaps he''s still on board?"
46117Quite so; but who will be able to do so?
46117Repairable?
46117Say, why not let rip at him altogether?
46117Shall we lift her and ascertain the extent of the damage?
46117Show?
46117So the reception is to be held on board the''Meteor,''eh?
46117So there is war between Great Britain and Valderia, eh? 46117 So this was the business which you so mysteriously hinted at?
46117So you''ve come, old mate?
46117Standing in-- what about?
46117Sulphur? 46117 Suppose, for instance, Durango has, in spite of our surmises to the contrary, returned to Naocuanha?"
46117Sure? 46117 Surely he did n''t survive the fall?"
46117Surely that''s not a reef?
46117That will help their blood to circulate,agreed the doctor,"but will this rotten ice stand the strain?
46117The Valderian one?
46117The ballonette sub- divisions are flooded, I presume?
46117The boat that flies, señor?
46117The submarine? 46117 The west coast of Greenland?"
46117Then Henri must have an assistant,_ bien entendu?_ Suppose you go as assistant to my son? 46117 Then Henri must have an assistant,_ bien entendu?_ Suppose you go as assistant to my son?
46117Then how shall I answer, señor?
46117Then why hesitate?
46117Then why on earth did n''t you report the matter?
46117Then you, too, are anxious to purchase the boat? 46117 Then, Durango knows of the existence of the''Meteor''and of her place of concealment?"
46117Then, assuming her crew to be at least as numerically as strong as that of the''Meteor,''where are the rest? 46117 Then, how do you manage to husband the supply of gas in the ballonettes?"
46117Then, what happens when you want to descend?
46117Then, where is the generating station?
46117These are not air- cooled?
46117They''re still there, I suppose?
46117Think so?
46117Tired?
46117To get straight to the point,continued Whittinghame, looking his guest full in the face,"how came you in my grounds this evening?"
46117Very good; what is it?
46117WELL?
46117WHERE''s he making for?
46117Was he hit?
46117We?
46117Well, are n''t you, sir?
46117Well, my man, how do you feel now?
46117Well?
46117Well?
46117Well?
46117Well?
46117Well?
46117Well?
46117Were you the officer who was reported to have distinguished himself in rescuing the Admiral, then?
46117What airship is that?
46117What are you waiting for?
46117What caused the''Libertad''to turn turtle?
46117What do you make of it?
46117What do you mean by nick?
46117What do you mean?
46117What do you mean?
46117What do you propose to do with the wreck?
46117What do you propose to do? 46117 What do you use-- petrol?"
46117What do you want?
46117What has happened?
46117What have you done with the Commandante and the rest of the garrison?
46117What information do you want, señor?
46117What is it?
46117What is that glare in the sky?
46117What is the radius of action of your flying- boat, señor?
46117What is the speed of the''Maranhao''?
46117What is this fellow Durango like?
46117What of it?
46117What sort of a man is he?
46117What stipulations do you lay down?
46117What temperature have you in the motor- rooms?
46117What will happen when we forge ahead with that craft in tow, sir?
46117What''s amiss now, Callaghan?
46117What''s that?
46117What''s that?
46117What''s that?
46117What''s that?
46117What''s the matter with her, I wonder?
46117What''s the meaning of this, sir?
46117What''s the meaning of this?
46117What''s this, Dacres?
46117What''s wrong?
46117When taking refuge in a neutral country?
46117When?
46117Where are you for?
46117Where are you making for?
46117Where are you, Whittinghame?
46117Where are you?
46117Where is he?
46117Where''s the code- book?
46117Where, then?
46117Where?
46117Which ones?
46117Who tells Captain Gotham not to use his shooting arms? 46117 Who, then?"
46117Whose, might I ask?
46117Why do his agents prowl about here?
46117Why not hire a''plane? 46117 Why not?
46117Will our repairs take long?
46117Will you continue the advance, sir?
46117Will you surrender?
46117Will you take any refreshment before you leave?
46117With Zaypuru in our hands?
46117With this possibility in your mind?
46117Without reduction of rank?
46117Wo n''t you have to give evidence at the trial of Durango?
46117Wonder who the deuce he is? 46117 Would you care to look round, or would you rather discuss the business that brought us here?"
46117Would you mind describing him to me?
46117Yes, sir; but how about the Valderian chaps imprisoned here-- the fellows old Zaypuru''s got his knife into? 46117 Yes, sir; has she communicated?"
46117You are a Frenchman, then?
46117You are a good impersonator, Monsieur Dacres?
46117You are not too tired? 46117 You do?"
46117You killed him?
46117You know him, then?
46117You there, Callaghan?
46117You were on the''Meteor''? 46117 You wonder why I use lamps in a house when there is electric lighting in the cellars?"
46117You would?
46117You''ve heard, of course, of Valderia?
46117You, then, know a Monsieur le Plaisant?
46117_ Americanos?_he asked interrogatively.
46117( Do you think that will be far enough from the wall for the position of the switch, Henri?
46117( Twenty- five centimetres from that cornice, Henri: have you got that down?)
46117( You think so, Henri?
46117A compromise between an airship and an aeroplane, for example?"
46117A voice replied in Spanish demanding to know what was amiss?
46117And the port of Zandovar is taken?
46117Any relation of Colonel Dacres, my nearest neighbour?"
46117Any report from the seaplanes?"
46117Are the engines all right otherwise?"
46117Are you going to invite me for a trip, sir?"
46117Are you ready for your journey?"
46117As the men entered a stentorian voice exclaimed,"Bless my soul, Dacres, what on earth are you doing here?"
46117But I do not think we need waste time there; suppose we devote our attention to an inspection of the''Meteor''?"
46117But there is one point I should like to raise-- how will my officers and men be affected by the change of ownership?"
46117But this poltroon?"
46117But to get back to more personal matters, Dacres, where are you bound for?"
46117But what happens when tradesmen and_ bona fide_ visitors call?"
46117By the by, are n''t you anxious to interview your father?"
46117By the by, does this train stop at Southampton Docks?"
46117By the by, how did you get on after we dropped you at Yealmpton?"
46117By the by, what are your plans?"
46117By the by, what''s your opinion about this mysterious aircraft?
46117Can you board and investigate?"
46117Cold storage contractor, eh?
46117Dacres?"
46117Dacres?"
46117Dacres?"
46117Dacres?"
46117Did not all of us say so?"
46117Did you hear the noise those creatures made?"
46117Do you know how Whittinghame proposes to put a stopper on that rascal Durango?"
46117Do you notice those plates of metal lying against the outer envelope?"
46117Do you see something floating about two and a half miles dead to windward of us?"
46117Do you, Enrico?"
46117Four hours ago, eh?
46117Had she fallen a victim to the fire of the batteries of Naocuanha?
46117Had they been buried beneath an almost irresistible blizzard?
46117How goes it?"
46117How goes the time?
46117How long will it take for the''Meteor''to be ready for flight?"
46117How on earth could he find out?
46117How you translate zat, eh?"
46117How''s the steering, quartermaster?"
46117I believe, Captain Whittinghame, that on the eve of your departure from England you were given honorary rank of captain in His Majesty''s fleet?"
46117I presume Mr. Dacres has informed you of the circumstances under which he left the Navy?
46117I presume you are still willing to sell her to the government as soon as Durango is made a prisoner?"
46117I presume, sir, that you are a naval officer?"
46117I suppose you will accept the invitation?"
46117I think I am right in assuming that I am speaking to an Englishman and a gentleman?"
46117I trust that your enforced detention will in no wise inconvenience you?"
46117I was very particular, sir, when I transferred the gear----""When was it last used?"
46117I wonder for how long this airship has been claiming the attention of the great British public?
46117I wonder if there''s a cottage handy?"
46117I''ll show you that arrangement to- morrow; but what do you say to a game of billiards, gentlemen?
46117If the five men were still alive, how could they be indifferent to the danger that now threatened them?
46117In the midst of mutual apologies the stranger suddenly exclaimed:--"Why, bless my soul, what are you doing here, Dacres?"
46117Is it possible?"
46117Is the commander below?"
46117Is''Meteor''capable of rescue?"
46117It is just possible----""What''s that, sir?"
46117Might we ask what is the speed of your flying boat?"
46117Mr. Dacres, will you please go on deck and obtain a stellar observation?
46117Mr. Setchell, will you please signal the''Repulse''and ask the loan of two Restronguet diving- suits?"
46117My knowledge of Spanish, for instance?
46117Now, Dacres, will you see about making ready to slip the moorings?"
46117Now, honestly, were n''t you jolly sick about having to leave the''Royal Oak''?"
46117Now, my lads, who will remain with me?"
46117Now, then, are you coming quietly?"
46117Now, where did you see that flying- boat?"
46117Now, where do you think they''ll make for?"
46117On the other hand how could the fellow be secured?
46117Once he has succeeded in working the specifications what is there to prevent him from negotiating with some of the Great Powers?
46117Perhaps your worships would like to pay a visit to my hacienda?"
46117Return by a slightly different route?"
46117Say, how are you going about it?"
46117Say, what''s your programme?"
46117Setchell?"
46117Sparkes, where''s the Navy List?"
46117Suppose I send Henri to inspect the Cavarale?
46117Suppose we carry the wiring down in this direction?)"
46117Suppose we go aboard?"
46117That being so, where are they?"
46117The question that puzzled Whittinghame was, how could the"Meteor"have missed the party on its flight to the Pole?
46117The question was: had Durango crossed it, or had he skirted the shore?
46117Then I think I will not go to Naocuanha just_ Ã   l''instant._""Were you bound for the capital, then?"
46117Then, again, will Durango return to Valderia now that the submarines are destroyed?
46117Those below were not pitched overboard when she turned right over; where, then, are they?"
46117To put the matter bluntly, could you get me a pass to enter the Cavarale?"
46117Wait till the''Libertad''I arrives, or make a dash across the Sierras into Valderian territory and attempt the rescue of the prisoners?"
46117Was he alone?
46117Was he to hear of another reverse?
46117Well, suppose we rest for half an hour and have some food?"
46117What can I do for you?"
46117What do you say to coming aboard and seeing how the old man has fixed him up?"
46117What is the move now, I wonder?"
46117What will you have to drink?"
46117What would you do, Dacres?
46117What''s that?"
46117When do you propose to resume your quest?"
46117Where are you?"
46117Where had they gone?
46117Where is he, Sparkes?"
46117Where was the"Meteor"--the Dreadnought of the Air?
46117Where, also, could a huge aircraft, measuring at least a thousand feet over- all, be housed in complete secrecy?
46117Who and what are they, I wonder?"
46117Why not toss for it?
46117Why, then, had the regulation been officially ignored?
46117Will fifty dollars be sufficient?"
46117Will the volume of the gas in the ballonettes be correspondingly reduced?"
46117Will you have a weighted line lowered, sir?"
46117Will you see that the after entry- port is opened?"
46117Will you ship along with me?"
46117Would you mind bringing my coat from the cabin?"
46117Would you mind letting me have paper and envelope?
46117Would you rather turn in?"
46117Would you wish to see Mr. Wells sir?"
46117You brought those rifles along with you all right, Setchell?"
46117You honestly assert that you had no idea that my little airship had her head- quarters here when you broke through the fence?"
46117You may recollect that when you made your way through the fence a bell rang?"
46117You may remember President Santobar?
46117You remember, of course, a renegade called von Harburg?"
46117You tink I haf not imparted ze instruction to ze midsheepmens before, eh?
46117You understand?"
46117You understand?"
46117_ Quien sabe?_""How long will it take Durango to reach Nazca?"
46117_ Quien sabe?_""How long will it take Durango to reach Nazca?"
46117asked Dacres;"by telegraph?"
46117the magnetic detector: it is out of-- how you call it?--tune,_ ne c''est pas?_ The air- gap around the edge of this plate is destroyed.
46117what''s the matter with G5?"
41176''Oo''s a skulking, I''d like to know?
41176A bomb?
41176A brilliant inspiration, eh?
41176Aeronautics?
41176Ah, comfortably dressed and fed, my lad?
41176Ai n''t there enough deck to please you?
41176Airship scare? 41176 All present, I hope?"
41176An accident?
41176And ai n''t she rolling, just?
41176And next, please?
41176And no one saw you?
41176And now?
41176And prisoners?
41176And the height, Joe?
41176And the ship?
41176And what is the record of dirigibles?
41176And what''s this they''re up to? 41176 And why?"
41176And within three months? 41176 And yet you''re as sure as sure can be that such a thing is out of the question, absolutely impossible?"
41176And you can stick tight for a while?
41176And you go there?
41176And you propose to descend to the city?
41176And you suggest----?
41176And-- and I go with you?
41176And-- and this flattening of the ship makes her laugh at gales?
41176And-- and what became of it?
41176And-- and you mean to tell us that the bombs are empty?
41176Any one of which, by exploding a shell within distance of us, could wreck the ship?
41176Any particular wishes, sir?
41176Are all feeling strong and well?
41176Are you there? 41176 At their highest point?"
41176Awful hard lines, ai n''t it? 41176 But it does give one the creeps, do n''t it?
41176But it''s sporting of him, eh?
41176But to what? 41176 But-- but how does she return?"
41176But-- but why?
41176But-- but you do n''t mean to tell me that you have obtained our release?
41176But-- but you''ll never venture to rise above the ground in this?
41176But-- but, what is? 41176 But-- look here, Dick, this idea means danger, do n''t it?"
41176Come, Major, you feel no nervousness? 41176 Did I not say prisoners plainly?"
41176Did you hear that? 41176 Do n''t I know him?
41176Do you shave?
41176Do you want to provide a drill ground? 41176 Eh, heard of it?
41176Eh, mate? 41176 Eh, mate?"
41176Eh, yes? 41176 Eh?
41176Eh? 41176 Eh?"
41176Eh?
41176Eight thirty p.m."Precisely; and the day is Wednesday?
41176Eighteen thousand feet-- what''s happened?
41176Er-- well, how can we help it? 41176 Er-- well, why not to Mr. Carl Reitberg?"
41176Ever seen the gentleman before?
41176Feel? 41176 Felt ill, did he?
41176From here? 41176 Had he been back to his house and there discovered Alec and the Commander?
41176Having a constitutional?
41176He''s got to pay if he loses, sir?
41176Hear it, sir?
41176Hear it? 41176 Hear''em?"
41176Here, on an airship? 41176 How does the power get to that propeller, for instance?
41176How many men are you responsible for?
41176How much?
41176How''d you?
41176How''s it done?
41176How? 41176 How?
41176I say,he began,"how do you come to be aboard?
41176I-- I-- do you expect an accident?
41176If one may enquire?
41176Ill? 41176 It''d be nasty to get that rope cut, eh?"
41176It''ll-- it''ll bring us down, wo n''t it?
41176Joe, how much''d it cost?
41176Know what that means?
41176Let me go, then? 41176 Let''s see; what is its exact altitude?
41176Long ago?
41176Navy, sir?
41176Never met them-- why?
41176No-- why? 41176 Nothing, sir?"
41176Nothing?
41176Now, Joe?
41176Now, what do we do? 41176 Now, what''s happening?"
41176Now?
41176Oh, sha n''t I be jolly glad to get away from this Mount Everest? 41176 One hundred thousand pounds, eh, Carl?
41176Or to return to their duty, which?
41176Papers? 41176 Precisely; and call at some gasworks?"
41176Prisoners?
41176Quite one of the older ones, Dick, eh? 41176 Read that document, Joe?"
41176Really, Mr. Provost, I think? 41176 Ripping, eh?"
41176Round the world? 41176 Saves climbing, do n''t it?"
41176Sea dog, eh?
41176Served their purpose? 41176 Shall I set the clockwork going and so put a stop to the course these fools are taking?
41176Shall I take it to the baggage room?
41176Shall I, now?
41176Sinking ship, eh?
41176Sporting? 41176 Still to lead, sir?"
41176Suppose there ai n''t no difficulty about finding her? 41176 Supposing there was an accident?"
41176Supposing you were spotted?
41176That high enough?
41176Then she can come down on water or on land?
41176Then they are really bombs? 41176 Then why did he bolt as if he were afraid of me?"
41176Then why has mein Herr not done so?
41176Then why this surprise?
41176Then you descend?
41176Then you''d let''em be shot down, eh?
41176Then, sir, why not tell Alec and myself?
41176Then?
41176There are two?
41176There will be guns about Adrianople?
41176Think he''s up to any games?
41176Three thousand feet?
41176Three, yes; what''s the time now?
41176To a T. Tell me about the ship-- an airship I suppose? 41176 To the airship?
41176To whom?
41176Turkish?
41176Unless what?
41176We''re-- we''re safe, I hope?
41176Well, Alec? 41176 Well, Joe, it''s a stumper?"
41176Well, how does it feel? 41176 Well, if they were decent, civilized sort of savages they''d wear cloaks, would n''t they?
41176Well, lad, how do you like the vessel? 41176 Well, yours?
41176Well?
41176Well?
41176What can one think? 41176 What difficulty?
41176What does it mean?
41176What else, my lad? 41176 What have the papers said?
41176What in thunder is the stuff? 41176 What is it?
41176What is that? 41176 What is the question?
41176What is the stuff? 41176 What next, then?
41176What next? 41176 What next?"
41176What will you do this for?
41176What''ll you do, sir?
41176What''s it mean? 41176 What''s our height?"
41176What''s queer? 41176 What''s she doing?"
41176What''s that?
41176What''s that?
41176What''s the good of a ship which has to constantly return to land for gas supplies?
41176What''s the good of being miserable because things do n''t go right, Uncle?
41176What''s the manoeuvre?
41176What''s the matter with me, or-- er-- with those jolly beggars? 41176 What''s the thing made of?
41176What''s this you noticed?
41176What''s to be done? 41176 What''s-- what''s your other name?"
41176What?
41176Where are you two youngsters off to?
41176Where away? 41176 Where do you come from?"
41176Where''s the officer?
41176Where? 41176 Which leads one to ask where all this modern invention will end?
41176While the airship has hooked it, eh?
41176Who can say? 41176 Who could have thought it?
41176Who is talking of the South Pole? 41176 Who''s that?"
41176Who? 41176 Why do n''t you?"
41176Why not, indeed? 41176 Why not?"
41176Why not?
41176Why not?
41176Why not?
41176Why not?
41176Why not?
41176Why? 41176 Why?"
41176Yes-- what next?
41176You are sure?
41176You call that nothing at all, mein Herr? 41176 You do n''t expect to have transparent roofs to your cabins too, do you?"
41176You do n''t mean to suggest that I should take steps to-- to destroy the ship?
41176You mean to tell me that that''s the treatment you received? 41176 You remember the Pathans, sir?
41176You see the reason, Mr. Provost? 41176 You tell us that England has great need of this service?
41176You want work?
41176You wish me to read it aloud?
41176You''ve been in her?
41176You''ve met Andrew Provost?
41176A guard- house, eh?
41176A trip to the forbidden city, there to call upon the Chinese Governor?
41176After me, why?"
41176Afterwards, what?
41176Ai n''t this a turn- up?"
41176All clear?
41176And I wonder what''s happened to Alec and the others?"
41176And had they heard a cry?
41176And how could they discover a man in the city of Adrianople of whose appearance they had no knowledge?
41176And how is he to bring him or his news aboard without descending?
41176And how, pray, does she return to her parent ship, this gigantic air vessel?"
41176And it''s real?
41176And now, Major, what becomes of''Charlie''?
41176And what does Sergeant Evans say?
41176And what of the trip promised by Joe Gresson, and of the adventures it might and certainly should bring in its train?
41176And where are we to go?"
41176And where is he going?"
41176And who can blame him?
41176And who can blame the midshipman?
41176And why not?
41176And you can do it?"
41176Are we better off?"
41176Are you a fool?
41176As for you, who is to learn that you are mixed up in the affair?
41176As safe as if you were on land; safer, perhaps, because you never know what''s going to pass overhead nowadays, do you?
41176At this height?"
41176But can she?
41176But had he forgotten the rascal in that adjacent cabin?
41176But how are we to get these valves open?"
41176But how''s the foreigner, please?"
41176But how?
41176But that''s queer, ai n''t it?"
41176But then, how can I help killing a few?
41176But wait; could we not direct our searchlights on the enemy and so scare them away?
41176But what recked Dicky of heat?
41176But what was he to do?
41176But who?
41176But-- where is the ship?
41176By electricity?
41176Can I be of service?"
41176Can they refuse me?"
41176Care to come out to one of the side keels?"
41176Carl ca n''t slip out of his cabin by the window, now can he?"
41176Come, Dick, my lad, you could eat, you think?
41176Coming?
41176Did I fail there?
41176Did I not say so?
41176Did ever you see such clear water?"
41176Did he know this man?
41176Did n''t it strike three as we were descending?"
41176Did they hear a gentle hum from high up overhead?
41176Did you hear what it is exactly?
41176Did you not attempt to discover whence they had gone?"
41176Did you not look for them?
41176Did you see the shells bursting as we left in the morning?"
41176Do either of you lads hear any more troops moving?"
41176Do n''t seem so dreadful now, does it?"
41176Do we remain here cooking in the neighbourhood of Delhi?
41176Do we stay here, or climb higher?"
41176Do we stay here, or do we issue out again and seek some other residence?"
41176Do we wait for these gentlemen, or-- what?"
41176Do you desire to escape_ mal de mer_?
41176Do you fancy the conquest of some island kingdom?
41176Do you wish to sail in luxury to St. Petersburg?
41176Eh, Dick?"
41176Eh, Major?"
41176Eh, sir?"
41176Eh?
41176Eh?
41176Eh?
41176Eh?
41176Eh?"
41176Eh?"
41176Eh?"
41176Eh?"
41176Fairly smart, eh?
41176Feel better?
41176Feeling better, eh?"
41176Fever?
41176For instance, this Charlie''s an Englishman, eh?"
41176For who could help starting violently under the circumstances?
41176Fortunate, ai n''t it?
41176France, what are her ships?
41176Gone?
41176Got a paddle?"
41176Got any matches?"
41176Got the shivers?
41176Had he allowed the matter to escape his mind?
41176Had n''t we better stop a moment and discuss matters?"
41176Had these diners gone completely crazy?
41176Hallo, what''s the excitement?
41176Have I failed before?
41176Have a cigar?"
41176Have n''t you done well for us?
41176He did n''t know that the bombs were empty, now, did he?
41176Hear it, any of you men?"
41176How can it come between us and these Gurkha dogs whom we have been seeking this many a day?
41176How could one answer that question?
41176How did these motors operate it?
41176How did you feel when you first attempted it?"
41176How do I know that it is n''t like celluloid?"
41176How do we emerge from it?"
41176How do we emerge?
41176How do we stand?
41176How do we stand?"
41176How does your ship beat the Zeppelin?
41176How high did you say?"
41176How is the Major going to find this fellow Charlie?
41176How many days?"
41176How many of the rascals were there?"
41176How now?
41176How reach the line which this ship throws out to us?"
41176How will I do it?
41176How''d you like that?"
41176How''s that for done it?"
41176How''s that?
41176How''s that?"
41176How?
41176How?
41176How?
41176How?"
41176How?"
41176I am to drive out to Hendon, where Mr. Gresson will pick me up?
41176I fancy we must be somewhere near the spot Anyone hear anything?"
41176I suppose that''s where we shall begin our search?"
41176I suppose this is a general bombardment, sir?"
41176I''m not going to trust to luck, eh, Alec?"
41176I''m too ill to be interviewed, and I----""How''ll you do it?"
41176If he succeeds, what do I get?
41176If not, then where shall we go-- what course shall we steer?"
41176In fact, a space which supports this huge vessel?"
41176In what way, Major?
41176Is Mr. Joe Gresson at the office?"
41176Is it side only?"
41176Is it-- is it really safe?"
41176Is n''t that enough to put up a Britisher''s back?
41176Is that a bargain?"
41176Is that nothing-- no?"
41176Is there a person who has before this date attained to such an altitude?"
41176It was a dilemma, for how could Andrew and Joe and his friends help the Major, seeing that they were high in the air?
41176It''s a similar framework, I suppose?
41176It''s an awful nuisance looking so frightfully young, ai n''t it?"
41176Joe, tell us like a good fellow, how far can a man see into other waters?"
41176Know''em?"
41176Like a trip aboard her?
41176Look here, Alec, are you game to stand by the Commander while I go on a tour of inspection?
41176Looks as if we were hanging here from nothing, eh?"
41176Looks like trying, do n''t he?"
41176May I?"
41176Meanwhile, if one may enquire, what are our prospects?"
41176Mortars, in fact?"
41176Need we say that they were Hawkins, Hurst, and Pierson, with the cantankerous and unlovely Private Larkin in close attendance?
41176No-- but where?
41176Not impossible?
41176Now, Alec, feel fit for it?"
41176Now, how does a fellow tackle an ugly job such as this is?
41176Now, how''s that?"
41176Now, what are these rails for?
41176Now, what in the dickens supports him?"
41176Now, what the blazes is a fellow to do?
41176Now, why not a trip to Lhasa in the meanwhile?
41176Now, will she start?"
41176Now, you''re game to stick here and wait for a while?"
41176Now; what''s the meaning of all this bother, and how comes it that you are masquerading in Turkish uniform?
41176Of course; where is the fellow?
41176Of what nationality?
41176Or shall we say, we stand shoulder to shoulder awaiting the last great flight of this giant vessel?"
41176Or was he now on his way?"
41176Or was he so carried away by this work of his that his imagination made successes where they did not exist?
41176Or was it this wonderful ship which was turning?
41176Pleasant ending, eh?
41176Provost?"
41176Remember, too, that it''s getting lighter; we ought to be hidden somewhere within an hour, eh?"
41176Rifle fire, eh?
41176Say, Dicky, why do sailors roll?
41176Say, Mr. Andrew, ai n''t they fond of torturing folks first?"
41176Say, how do I look?
41176See those two huts opposite?
41176Seen the aeroplane?
41176Sergeant Evans, what do you advise?"
41176Shall I lead the way out of the back door, sir?"
41176Shave?"
41176Show him up, sir?"
41176Simple, is n''t it?
41176Skipper?"
41176So I''m to leave the box, sir?"
41176Something like a Zeppelin?"
41176Spotted me, eh?"
41176Such a time may come-- who knows?
41176Supposing he just clears off for the station?"
41176Supposing she felt the shock?"
41176Supposing the ship changes her course?
41176Supposing there were prisoners yonder?
41176Tantalizing, eh, Uncle?"
41176Tell me for what reason is there a guard- house yonder?"
41176Tell me, you reported the taking of these men?"
41176That I might expect the same to- morrow if I went to the War Office with a brilliant invention?"
41176That officer?
41176That right, sir?"
41176That''s smart, mate, ai n''t it?"
41176That''s the mosque, ai n''t it?"
41176The question was somewhat of a facer, for how could Dick and Alec then interfere?
41176The same balloonettes?
41176Then London shall have a glimpse of their ship, and afterwards----""Yes, afterwards?"
41176Then let''s see what''s happening?"
41176Then we sink to the water?"
41176Then what is it?"
41176Then what was it?
41176Then what''s he up to?"
41176Then where?"
41176Then why not continue?
41176Then why now?
41176Then, supposing he went by the ordinary route, through the gallery and so into the open, who could arrest him?
41176Then, what happened?"
41176There are no others?"
41176They went this way?"
41176They''re queer, ai n''t they?"
41176To what nationality does she belong?
41176Wait-- what''s the elevation?
41176Was Joe romancing?
41176Was everyone mad?
41176Was he captured, or shot?
41176Was he dreaming indeed?
41176Was he, er-- the same, Sergeant Evans?
41176Was it imagination?
41176Was it likely that they had reported their action?
41176Was that wreckage the remains of a boat?
41176Was this, then, a newcomer to add to our perils?
41176Watch''i m?"
41176We''re about the same height and size, eh?"
41176Well, Major, do you or do I lead the retreat?"
41176Well, Steven, what do you think of the vessel which brought us out to Adrianople just in time to snatch you from that extremely uncomfortable city?"
41176Well, let us say, within six months?"
41176Well, now, how does the matter go?"
41176Well, she''s tried?"
41176Well, what''s yours?"
41176Well, you succeeded?"
41176Well?
41176Well?"
41176What am I to do?"
41176What are the orders, sir?
41176What are these wretches doing?"
41176What could be better calculated to throw dust in the eyes of the public, and, more important than all, in the eyes of the crew of the airship?
41176What could be fairer or more magnanimous?
41176What did that officer say?"
41176What do yer mean, young feller?"
41176What happened after I was knocked over?
41176What happens?
41176What harm may a lamp do then to the faithful?
41176What has your friend Charlie to do with us?
41176What indeed?
41176What is it to me, or to you, Mr. Provost?
41176What is it?"
41176What is to prevent us being dashed to pieces?"
41176What next?"
41176What on earth has happened to them?"
41176What part does it form?
41176What sort of vessel hovered aloft?
41176What was that?
41176What was that?
41176What was to be the end of this amazing rescue?
41176What wonder that he could not take the angry Larkin seriously?
41176What''s below us?"
41176What''s he drawing money for?
41176What''s he up to?"
41176What''s he want to talk like that for?"
41176What''s she made of?
41176What''s the fuss?"
41176What''s the latest message?"
41176What''s the meaning of it all?"
41176What''s the meaning of it?"
41176What''s the time?"
41176What''s to be done?
41176What''s to be done?"
41176What''s''e say, I ask?"
41176What?"
41176When will this awful trip be over?"
41176When?"
41176Where are you leading to?"
41176Where does the advantage come?"
41176Where does the difference come?"
41176Where is the reward promised?"
41176Where was the propeller?
41176Where was the spot from which he had started?
41176Where was this stranger bearing them?
41176Where''s Alec?"
41176Where''s he going?"
41176Where''s the airship?"
41176Where''s the difference between a ship and plane?
41176Where''s the reason?"
41176Who are you to talk about risks to me-- to ask if I''m coming or funking?"
41176Who can wonder if the gallant Colonel did demur for the moment?
41176Who could have been under the circumstances?
41176Who ever heard of a midshipman having weight?
41176Who goes racing about the streets thus at night when every soldier should be in the trenches, and every dog of a civilian in his house?"
41176Who is the owner of the airship?
41176Who is to prevent violence just now, when every soldier who can be controlled is in the firing line?
41176Who is to say that it was not due to a dreadful accident?"
41176Who says we''re grumbling?"
41176Who was he?
41176Who''s a right to take''em more than I have?
41176Who, then, controls this machine?
41176Whoever heard of an airship carrying baths and water tanks of big capacity?
41176Whoever heard of such things aboard a ship sailing in the air?
41176Why do n''t you stay at the telephone?
41176Why not?
41176Why not?
41176Why not?
41176Why not?"
41176Why rails on the deck?
41176Why should I be, Uncle?
41176Why should n''t he return by train and steamer if he wishes to do so?"
41176Why should we go to this besieged city?"
41176Why should we rush into danger?"
41176Why, indeed?
41176Why, then, should this great airship not be able to attain to even double the greatest known speed of an aeroplane?
41176Why?
41176Why?
41176Why?
41176Why?
41176Why?"
41176Why?"
41176Will that, then, prove a record?
41176Wonder what it is?"
41176Wonder whether that''s due to my blow or to the shell which just now exploded?"
41176Wonder who''s on duty?"
41176Yes, I remember; the papers in Canada were full of it-- well?"
41176Yes, Mr. Provost, you do not think that I was referring to those rascals from whom we so recently escaped?
41176You actually meant to wreck the vessel?"
41176You ai n''t afraid of the thing being copied, eh, Joe?"
41176You are really thinking of something far harder to give than regrets; you are thinking of your one hundred thousand pounds, eh, my friend?
41176You declare that you could erect such a ship as we have just lost sight of, but better, with greater powers of movement, with greater range?"
41176You do n''t mean to tell me you build the ship of that?
41176You do n''t think?"
41176You ever saw a sailor suffering from swelled head?
41176You expect me to take such things into the trenches, then?
41176You just operate a motor; this sunken hangar rises with the aeroplane, and there you are, ai n''t you?"
41176You saw them also?"
41176You saw them?
41176You tell us that this matter is of urgent importance for England?"
41176You think that England could build such a ship as this Zeppelin without experiment, without numerous failures-- all, we will say, within a year?"
41176You think that a bigger Gamma would suffice?
41176You''re a sportsman, are n''t you?
41176You''ve heard of this new airship?"
41176You?"
41176Yours is Hamshaw, is n''t it, Dicky?"
41176_ Nicht wahr?_ It is too late; all the damage is done.
41176asked Dick, somewhat bewildered, for whoever heard of an aeroplane flying towards an airship and settling upon it?
41176asked Joe, smiling now, for was not this a triumph?
41176gasped Andrew-- for this was news--"Why did n''t you sell it to the War Office authorities?"
41176he asked;"guns capable of sending shells high into the air?
41176or had he merely failed to discover Charlie?
41176or staying?
41176the great height at which we fly does not rob you of your appetite?"
41176why did n''t I think of it before?
