CONCLUSION.
The whalers who had made their quarters at the settlement saw the air
ship almost as soon as our friends saw their vessels, for the
searchlight of the Ranger was brightly blazing.
All hands surrounded the flying machine as soon as she landed, and one
of the captains pressed forward and cried:
“We’ve captured the whole crew of the Red Eric for you, and searched
their craft, but hang me if we can find the boy aboard!”
“For the very good reason that I’ve got him,” answered Frank.
Frank called the boy out, and while standing at the side of the Ranger,
Walter told the whalers his pitiful story.
It incensed them against Captain Bolt, and by the time the boy had
finished his recital, many a threat was muttered against the rascally
captain.
“Let’s hang the villain at the yardarm of his craft!” said one.
“Don’t use violence,” remonstrated Frank.
“You’ll put him through the courts?”
“Such is my intention. I owe the rascal a debt of vengeance for once
having shot me, and on another occasion inciting his men to try to
murder me.”
“Well, your plan’s a good one. We’ll put him in your hands?”
“How about his ship?”
“The first mate’s a good man, and can manage her.”
“Bring him to me, then, and I’ll lock him up aboard here.”
Several of the sailors were dispatched aboard the Red Eric in a boat.
When they returned, they not only had the captain with them, but he was
shackled hand and foot.
He cast a baleful glance at Walter Grey when he saw him with Frank’s
party, and snarled, in ugly tones:
“So they’ve found ye, hey?”
“Yes; and you know what to expect now,” said the boy.
“What kin yer do? I ain’t done no harm.”
“For shanghaiing this boy and attempting to kill him,” said the
inventor, “you can be sentenced to a long term in prison.”
“Are yer goin’ ter take me off o’ my ship?”
“Yes; and you’ll go back a prisoner with me.”
This announcement started the captain swearing furiously, and to put an
end to it Frank had him confined aboard the Ranger, where he was no
longer heard.
A severe lecture was given to his crew, and they were told to clear out
of the strait with the Red Eric.
This they hastened to do.
Frank and his friends remained at the station several days.
It was then decided to return home.
The mechanism of the flying machine was accordingly well overhauled, and
when everything was in readiness for departure, our friends took leave
of the whalers.
Going aboard the Ranger, her gyroscopes were put in motion, and she
soared up into the frozen sky.
A favoring breeze was encountered, the canvas was shaken out, and under
the additional speed thus imparted, she quickly left cold Nova Zembla
out of sight.
She remained in a frozen sky until she reached the North Atlantic, and
finally got back in a latitude where the days and nights were what they
were accustomed to.
Every one was pleased over the success of their trip, for, in spite of
the hardships they endured, they had saved Walter Grey, secured the
skeleton of the mammoth, and captured Ben Bolt.
There was an ugly prospect ahead of Dr. Vaneyke, though, for he knew
that upon his return to Readestown he would have to answer for the
murder of which he was accused.
Being entirely innocent, though, he did not shrink from it, for he felt
sure of being able to vindicate himself of the crime which had driven
them adrift in the frozen sky.
The flying machine finally crossed the Atlantic.
She finally reached the suburbs of Boston and landed in private ground
in the dead of night, so that no one but the owner knew of her being
there, and he had no objections.
The bones of the mammoth were here unshipped, and having been packed in
a number of cases were sent to Washington.
This done, Captain Ben Bolt was placed in the hands of the police, who
already knew how he shanghaied Walter Grey.
When the additional charges were lodged against him, he was finally
sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, and went to join the rascally
lawyer, Alfred Milburn.
Having disposed of the captain, Frank next took Walter Grey home to his
mother.
The meeting of the mother and son was very touching.
When they got over their first transports of joy they turned to speak to
Frank, and thank the generous young inventor for what he had done for
them.
But Frank was gone.
He had quietly gone away.
Returning to the Ranger, the inventor boarded her with his friends, and
headed her for the west.
Her destination was Readestown.
She made rapid headway toward the pretty little city, Barney playing his
fiddle and Pomp thumping his banjo.
The weather was very stormy.
When they reached Readestown the wind was blowing a gale, and as they
attempted to land in Frank’s grounds, the storm caught the flying ice
ship and drove it toward a church steeple.
Frank made a desperate effort to steer it away, but failed to succeed,
for it struck the steeple with a terrific shock.
“Throw over the grapnel!” screamed Frank.
“What’s the matter?” gasped Barney.
“The gyroscope lever is broken!”
The flying ice boat would have gone up, up, up, high in the sky until it
had been repaired had not the inventor caused the grapnel to be thrown
over.
It caught in one of the windows in the steeple.
Every moment the gale was slamming the boat against the spire,
threatening to demolish the Ranger.
If that happened she was apt to fall to the ground and kill her crew,
and Frank realized it.
It made him desperate.
“We will have to abandon her!” he cried at last.
“Can’ yo’ sen’ her down?” asked Pomp.
“Not till the gyroscope lever is repaired. It would occupy an hour or
two to do that. In the meantime we may get killed.”
“What shall we be afther doin, sor?” questioned Barney.
“Slide down the anchor rope to the steeple.”
There was no alternative.
They thought they could get the air ship when the storm blew over, so
Barney and Pomp tied their fiddle and banjo to their backs and all hands
hastened out on deck.
Grasping the grapnel rope they slid down one after another to the
steeple and safely reached a platform there.
Scarcely was this done when the wind caused the Ranger to give a sudden
plunge, and the grapnel tore itself free.
The next moment the flying air ship shot up in the air and disappeared
in the dark storm cloud.
A week afterward, when her batteries gave out, she fell into the ocean
thousands of miles away and was swallowed up.
Our friends were sorry enough to lose her, but glad to save their lives,
and finally descended the interior stairs of the spire and reached the
ground in safety.
They returned to Frank’s house, where they were warmly greeted by the
inventor’s family.
On the following day Frank went with Vaneyke to the police station, so
the doctor could surrender himself.
Here, to their joy, they found that the real murderer had been exposed,
and was then in prison awaiting trial.
He was the man who had accused the doctor of the crime, two men going to
the scene of the crime had witnessed his villainy.
That cleared Dr. Vaneyke, and the detective who had made such a
desperate effort to capture him was very profuse in his apologies for
what he had done to annoy him.
The professor then left Readestown and went to Washington to attend to
the articulation of the mammoth’s skeleton.
As for Frank and Barney and Pomp, they were very much chagrined over the
loss of the Ranger, but finally forgot all about her when the inventor
announced his intention to build a new contrivance with which they might
make a journey.
Let us not anticipate, however.
We have another tale ready for our readers about the new marvel, which
will appear next week in the Frank Reade series, and as we will meet
with the three friends again, let us pause here.
