Tom and his other friends from the flying boat were all greeted most
hilariously by the crowd. The mechanicians and Kingston had their
stories to tell. Ned hurried away on business. Mr. Barton Swift wrung
his son’s hand.
“I was afraid for a while that that strange Russian would manage to
make you trouble. Admiral Gilder found out about him soon after you
had started on your cruise. The fellow had got credentials from the
Navy Board by trickery.”
“If the Soviet Government had had a bunch of flying men up there at
Reykjavik, ready to hop aboard the craft when they got us out and
under guard,” said Tom, “they might have managed to get the _Winged
Arrow_ as far as Russia, and we would have whistled for any money.
Their printing presses could not print rubles fast enough to pay me
for this flying boat.”
“Then you consider her a success, Tom?” asked Mr. Swift smiling.
“She most certainly is. As far as I have gone I am satisfied. But I
have not finished with her yet. You wait and see, Dad.”
Then he hurried away to join Mary Nestor. And, after what Tom had
done for the young girl’s father, the reader may believe that what
Mary Nestor said to Tom made him blush to the tips of his ears!
