The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940
Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
was no longer in debt to foreign countries but was now the banking
nation of the world and the foreign countries owed large sums of money
to the United States. This country has continued to prosper since the
war, the gold supply of the world now rests here. Our former friends
have become jealous of the prosperity we enjoy and the power that we
now hold in financial affairs which once belonged to England. Some of
the foreign countries do not want to pay their obligations and this
jealousy can lead to nothing else but war, as it always has in the
past. I hope to be ready when that war comes with my great airplane,
and other inventions to help defend my country and later promote a
lasting peace based on love and goodwill. The United States began as a
land of liberty and has always set an example for the balance of the
world and I hope to see the day when our country will take the lead
in establishing universal peace and the brotherhood of man. Captain
Lindbergh's flight confirms my studies and forecasts of the future.
Aviation will be developed rapidly and nations will want to try these
new discoveries and inventions to conquer other nations, and war is
inevitable. The Bible prophets foretold it, and my studies of the cycle
theory also indicate that we are in a period where cycles will repeat
which have caused war in the past."
On the afternoon of June 12th, Mr. Kennelworth and Robert arrived in
New York City and were met at the train by Walter. Robert was very
happy to meet his dearest friend, and it was consoling to be with him.
After their arrival, they went to the Hotel Vanderbilt. Mr. Kennelworth
went out to see a friend and left Robert and Walter to chat alone.
Robert told Walter of the terrible sufferings he had gone thru since
Marie's disappearance and of his great disappointment. He talked of the
success he had made in the market and of the future when he hoped to
complete his great invention with the aid of Walter and his knowledge
of chemicals and make discoveries which would end war for all times.
But immediately after talking of his future plans his mind would revert
back to Marie and he would start talking about her and bemoaning the
fact that without her he could not go on in the future. Walter told
him to forget about her--that time would bring changes and that he
would find another girl who would take the place of Marie. Robert was
indignant and told Walter that time would never change him; that he
would remain faithful to Marie until death, no matter if he never heard
of her again. Walter said that Marie was too young to know her own
mind and was probably in love with someone else, or thought she was,
which accounted for her sudden change and disappearance from the train.
Robert then showed him the letter which he found in his pocket the
morning that Marie disappeared. Walter read it.
June 5th, 1927.
