The Boy Scouts of the Eagle Patrol There was always the chance that these men might turn upon them, and succeed in doing something to injure the hydroplane, causing it to drop into the midst of that inland sea. The Aeroplane Boys Flight A Hydroplane Roundup "I don't believe much in hydroplanes," old Grimshaw observed to him as he accompanied Dave back to the aero grounds, "but I believe in you, and I will say you made a clever showing." Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane At the proper elevation, Frank turned the hydroplane's head westward and reduced the speed to less than thirty miles an hour. The Boy Allies at Jutland Will wished that his rescuer had been José rather than the Indian, for the negro boy had been his servant for many months, and had often helped him with the hydroplane. Swift and Sure 2012-03-16T02:00:24.627Z Try as he would, Rob could not get an ounce more speed out of the Flying Fish, and as the speedy hydroplane roared by them they heard a mocking shout from her crew.

Swift and Sure 2012-03-16T02:00:24.627Z The next minute, however, a quick look back by Rob showed that the hydroplane was coming ahead again, and that the engine trouble, whatever it was, had been adjusted.

The Aeroplane Boys Flight A Hydroplane Roundup The hydroplane had been run into a boat house after the practice of the day previous, and was all ready for use. Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane Believing the work was accomplished, he was moving off toward the hydroplane.
