He went slowly, hoping that Conway would overtake him before he reached the plane.

BEAUDOUIN, FRANK. Pilots, man your planes.

Going to quit construction here and use planes the rest of the way?

Consequently they would be apt to assemble a flotilla of fighting planes in that vicinity, ready to soar aloft and give furious battle to any Allied squadron venturesome enough to make the attempt at destruction.

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.

His first thought had been to jump after crying out to Jack, but seeing that his friend had not understood, Frank stuck to his post, trying as well as he knew how to bring the plane to the sea as gently as possible.

Barney sprang forward impulsively and showed the workmen how to handle the plane.

And then we suddenly saw another plane, this time an Italian, coming from the left, flying high, hard in pursuit.

She had, moreover, a vigorous dislike for young Jack Green the chauffeur who, notwithstanding his airs,perhaps because of them,occupied a much lower plane in her estimation than his brother the schoolmaster.

Both kept in readiness for work should their turn come, Tom manipulating the plane, and Jack working the rapid-fire gun which he had learned to handle so cleverly.

He set the planes and the machine glided to the water, where it came to rest lightly.

"There was some talk of another raid for tonight, you remember, Tom," he said, when they once more alighted and gave the plane over into the charge of the hostlers; "and if it turns out that way I only hope we're detailed to go along to guard the bombers.

He succeeded in isolating a substance corresponding in its chemical composition to grape sugar, and also a carbo-hydrate differing considerably from grape sugar, and turning the plane of polarization to the left.

What the marksmen hoped to do was either to kill the pilot or else to strike some vulnerable part of the engine, thus disabling it and wrecking the plane.

A.In starting from a station, and also in ascending inclined planes, the feed water is generally shut off; and therefore before stopping or ascending inclined planes, the boiler should be well filled up with water.

As a rule they preferred to attack a single plane with half a dozen, and so make as sure as they could of victory at a minimum of risk.

The morning sun caught its silvered planes and turned them to gold.

He then chased the other plane, whose pilot soon lost his taste for fighting, dropped into a heavy cloud bank, and got away.

all three dived at me like a rock and bullets flew by me, cutting my plane, so I pulled up at them, fired, swerved so my gunner could let them have it also and then saw the iron cross flash by, so I knew it was the Huns.

But he could in a spirit of maliciousness so utterly destroy the planes, and even injure the powerful little Kinkaid engine that it would be practically fit only for the scrap-heap afterwards.

In one brief fight another pilot drove down three German planes.

Of course they told the farmer they were aviators who had had the misfortune to drop into the marsh, where he would find their plane.

" "Yes," said John; "must be quite an undertaking getting Smith's tri-plane on the sky-way.

Frank was still guiding the plane about occasionally to avoid a chance bullet from the enemy, but at the moment the Germans came close, he had stopped the craft and was peering into the darkness, straining his ears for the sound of a struggle that would tell him Jack was engaged with the enemy.

On one side, they were hauling the logs up an inclined plane by water-power; on the other, passing out the boards, planks, and sawed timber, and forming them into rafts.
