But tell me, how in all creation kin you ever mount up agin, once you settle there?" "Why that's the easiest thing of all," replied the young aviator; "you've watched a wild duck get up many a time, haven't you, Mr. Quackenboss; well, we do just the same, only instead of flapping our wings, we start the engine, and skim along the surface for a little distance, then elevate the planes, and immediately begin to soar upward.

"Have you no orders for me, sir?" asked the aviator, still erect in his place at the far end of the table.

If the engine had broken loose there was a pretty fair chance that the craft with its long extended planes would float, and even bear up the two aviators.

Such things may bother an aviator when over the enemy's country, because if a landing seems necessary in order to avoid a fatal drop, there must always arise the risk of capture.

Although the Bird boys had more than once before proved that they possessed all the courage and daring a successful aviator must have in order to accomplish the difficult tasks hourly presented to him for solution, it must not be thought that they were reckless to any degree.

"What does he say, Felipe?" demanded the young aviator.

But now I have encountered, as I say, another such instinctive aviator to whom flight appears to be as natural as walking.

As they gazed down the young aviators felt a momentary regret that they had chosen a town in which to pass the first night of their motor flight.

I need an aviator and a good one.

A large number of shells fell in the plantations on the western side of the ridge; our mastery of the air prevented enemy aviators observing for their artillery, or they would have seen no traffic was passing along that way.

"It's Jules, sure enough!" said Frank, as, despite the many bandages about the head of the man, he recognized the dapper little French aviator with whom he had had more or less trouble in the past.

We trust our contemporaries are not in a conspiracy to represent the gallant aviator as a hot-air man.

Not that there was one chance in a thousand they would ever need such things around Bloomsbury, though there was Lake Sunrise to be reckoned with; but just then it struck the boy that every well equipped aeroplane ought always to carry a couple of rubber rings along, which, in moments of dire necessity could be blown full of air, and would serve to sustain wrecked aviators until help came.

But the majority of the crowd took the pretty girl aviators to its heart.

"Careful," whispered the aviator.
