About the Book
CHAPTER I A BREAKDOWN Well, Ned, are you ready? Oh, I suppose so, Tom. As ready as I ever shall be. Why, Ned Newton, youre not getting afraid; are you? And after youve been on so many trips with me? No, it isnt exactly that, Tom. Id go in a minute if you didnt have this new fangled thing on your airship. But how do you know how its going to work—or whether it will work at all? We may come a cropper. Bless my insurance policy! exclaimed a man who was standing near the two lads who were conversing. Youd better keep near the ground, Tom. Oh, thats all right, Mr. Damon, answered Tom Swift. There isnt any more danger than there ever was, but I guess Ned is nervous since our trip to the underground city of gold. I am not! indignantly exclaimed the other lad, with a look at the young inventor. But you know yourself, Tom, that putting this new propeller on your airship, changing the wing tips, and re-gearing the motor has made an altogether different sort of a craft of it. You, yourself, said it wasnt as reliable as before, even though it does go faster. Now look here, Ned! burst out Tom. That was last week that I said it wasnt reliable. It is now, for Ive tried it out several times, and yet, when I ask you to take a trip with me, to act as ballast— Is that all you want me for, Tom, to act as ballast? Then youd better take a bag of sand—or Mr. Damon here! Me? I guess not! Bless my diamond ring! My wife hasnt forgiven me for going off on that last trip with you, Tom, and Im not going to take any more right away. But I dont blame Ned— Say, look here! cried Tom, a little out of patience, you know me better than that, Ned. Of course youre more than ballast—I want you to help me manage the craft since I made the changes on her. Now if you dont want to come, why say so, and Ill get Eradicate. I dont believe hell be afraid, even if he— Hold on dar now, Massa Tom! exclaimed an aged colored man, who was an all around helper at the Swift homestead, was yo referencin t me when yo spoke? Yes, Rad, I was saying that if Ned wouldnt go up in the airship with me you would. Well, now, Masa Tom, I shorely would laik t blige yo, I shore would. But de fack ob de mattah am dat I has a mos particular job ob white washin t do dish mornin, an I spects Id better be gittin at it. Its a mos particular job, an, only fo dat, Id be mos pleased t go up in de airship. But as it am, I mus ax yo t scuse me, I really mus, and the colored man shuffled off at a faster gait than he was in the habit of using. Well, of all things! gasped Tom. I believe youre all afraid of the old airship, just because I made some changes in her. Ill go up alone, thats what I will. No, Ill go with you, interposed Ned Newton who was Toms most particular chum. I only wanted to be sure it was all right, that was all. Well, if youve fully made up your mind, went on the young inventor, a little mollified, lend me a hand to get her in shape for a run.... About the Author
