THE RESCUE--CONCLUSION
The smell of escaping gas from the bag of the big balloon became more
pronounced as the _Comet_ approached. Eagerly the boys and Professor
Snodgrass looked toward the disabled craft which was slowly drifting
ahead of them, but which they were rapidly overhauling.
“We hadn’t better go too close; had we?” suggested Bob.
“Why not?” asked Jerry. “We’ve got to get pretty close or we can’t
rescue them. The planks are about fifteen feet long, and we’ll have
to come within that distance, anyhow, to make a bridge from the
_Manhattan_ to our deck.”
“I was thinking of the gas,” went on the stout lad, who seemed to have
some difficulty in breathing. “It might--we might be overcome,” and he
coughed raspingly.
“That’s so,” admitted Jerry, with a start. “I hadn’t thought of that.
Whew! But that vapor _is_ strong. It’s different from what we use. I
wonder----”
A fit of coughing interrupted him, and soon Ned and the professor were
wheezing and sneezing, as the powerful fumes were wafted to them.
“We can’t stand this!” gasped the tall lad. “No wonder these men are
unconscious. It’s a slim chance if they’re alive, after breathing those
fumes!”
A look of despair came over Ned’s face. Was he, after all, to lose the
last opportunity to aid his father? Was Mr. Jackson dead?
“We can’t go any closer!” declared Jerry at length. “It will mean death
or unconsciousness, if we do. I’ve got to halt the airship!”
Coughing and spluttering, he made his way to the pilot house, and
brought the motor to a stop. Then, as the _Comet_ could no longer
sustain herself on her wings, being bereft of motion, she began to
sink, until Jerry started the gas-machine, making a dirigible balloon
of the craft. With the big bag inflated, she floated lazily in the air,
about a quarter of a mile from the _Manhattan_. Both were being driven
slowly onward by a light wind.
“Well, what’s to be done?” demanded Bob. Breathing was easier for them
all now, as they were not so near the disabled balloon.
“That’s the problem,” declared Jerry. “We can’t go any closer without
being in danger ourselves, and we can’t rescue those men until we get
within ten or fifteen feet of them.”
“Couldn’t we wait until all the gas escaped from their bag, and then
venture up?” asked Ned.
“By that time those men will be dead, if they are not lifeless
already,” answered Jerry solemnly.
It was a trying situation. To be within sight of the men they wanted
to save, to be near Mr. Jackson, on whom so much depended, and yet not
able to reach him and his companions, was tantalizing. Yet they all
recognized the truth of what Jerry said. It would be death for them all
to venture nearer.
Professor Snodgrass, who had been curiously sniffing the air, as though
to determine the nature of the gas, suddenly gave an exclamation.
“Boys, I think I have it!” he cried eagerly. “I am not sure, but
I think I know the composition of the gas used in the bag of that
balloon. If I am right, I can easily manufacture, from the chemicals I
have, something that will neutralize it.”
“Will you do it?” cried Ned eagerly.
“I will, at once! Though I am not sure it will work. If it does, all
that will be necessary to do will be to saturate a handkerchief with
the solution I will make, tie the cloth over our mouth and nose, and
then all the gas breathed through it will be harmless.”
“That’s just what we need!” exclaimed Jerry.
The professor lost no time in getting to work. He mixed up various
chemicals in a flask, heated them, and then wet a handkerchief in the
liquid. Binding the cloth over his nose and mouth, he went out to
breathe the air, which was still slightly laden with the poisonous
fumes. The professor inhaled deeply.
“Does it work?” asked Ned eagerly.
“I think it does,” was the reply. “We will have to go nearer to make
sure.”
It did not take long for all to adjust the wet handkerchiefs over their
mouths and noses. Jerry then started the propellers, and once more the
_Comet_ approached the _Manhattan_. Could they come close enough to
make the rescue, and still be safe themselves? Each breath they drew
would soon tell the story.
Anxiously they noted the effect.
“I can’t smell or breathe any gas!” mumbled Ned, for the handkerchief
interfered with speaking.
“Me, neither,” added Ned.
“It’s all right!” declared the professor. “We can go as close as we
wish, but we can’t stay long, for the chemical will soon evaporate.
Work lively, boys!”
It was only a few minutes more before the _Comet_ was close beside the
disabled balloon. The latter was a large craft, and was floating easily
along, her machinery silent. Silent, too, and motionless, were the five
men who constituted the pilot and crew. In various attitudes they were
stretched in the open cabin, as if they had struggled there for air. It
could not yet be told whether they were dead or alive.
“Quick, now!” mumbled Jerry. “Run out the planks, and we’ll cross over
and carry the men on board here.”
He skillfully put the _Comet_ alongside of the other craft. There they
were, high in the air over the ocean, yet almost like two vehicles on
earth, or two boats floating on the surface of the water. Jerry shut
off the propellers, letting the _Comet_ drift at the same rate as did
the other craft.
With a rope, Jerry next made the two balloons fast to each other, to
prevent them from drifting apart. Then two planks were laid across
from the after-deck of the _Comet_ to that of the _Manhattan_. Quickly
crossing on these, our heroes and the professor boarded the disabled
airship.
“There’s Mr. Jackson!” cried Mr. Snodgrass, indicating one of the
unconscious men.
“We must rescue him first!” declared Ned, and no one disputed him.
With the help of Jerry, the merchant’s son carried the unconscious
millionaire across the narrow planks, from one airship to the other,
high above the ocean which rolled beneath them. It was a most
marvellous rescue in mid-air!
[Illustration: CARRIED THE UNCONSCIOUS MILLIONAIRE ACROSS THE NARROW
PLANKS.]
“Now the rest!” called the professor. He and Bob took up another man,
and carried him to safety. When Jerry and Ned returned for a third
member of the crew, the tall lad, looking into the main, or closed
cabin, noticed some sparks coming from one of the electrical machines
connected with the wireless apparatus. It was run by a storage battery,
and must have been left connected and turned on when the men were
stricken down. A stream of vivid, violet-colored sparks were emanating
from the contact points.
“By Jove, we must get away from here in a hurry!” cried the tall lad.
“Why?” asked Ned, pausing in the act of lifting the feet of an
unconscious man.
“Those sparks!” gasped Jerry. “They may explode the gas any minute, and
we’ll be blown to atoms! Lively, Ned!”
Ned needed no urging. Rapidly he and Jerry once more crossed the plank
in mid-air with the unfortunate man. On their next trip Jerry noticed
that a blue light was playing about the machine whence the sparks came.
“She’ll go up in about a minute more!” he gasped.
But two more men remained to be saved. These were quickly carried
across the bridge in the air, and laid in the cabin of the _Comet_.
“Cast off!” yelled Jerry, beginning to cough again, for the deadly
fumes were manifesting themselves through the chemically saturated
handkerchiefs. “Cast off!”
It took but an instant to do it. The great propellers were set in
motion, and the _Comet_ rapidly glided away from the _Manhattan_. The
boys looked back at her, as she floated in mid-air.
“We must see to those men!” directed Jerry, taking off the improvised
mask, which was no longer needed. “Perhaps it is even now too late!
Professor, will you help us?”
“Of course. I think I know how to revive them, if there is a spark of
life left.”
“Look!” yelled Bob, pointing to the _Manhattan_. A haze of flame
surrounded the unfortunate craft.
“It’s all up with her!” cried Jerry.
The next instant there came a terrific explosion, and the dirigible was
scattered to the four winds, to fall in a shower of canvas, silk and
broken machinery into the sea, there to disappear from sight forever.
“We got away just in time,” spoke Ned in awed tones.
With the motor speeding her back across the ocean, over which she had
so gallantly come a long distance, and with the automatic steering
apparatus set to guide her, no attention need be paid to the _Comet_
for some time. So the boys and the professor devoted their energies to
reviving the men. That they were not dead was soon established, though
they were very nearly so.
But Professor Snodgrass knew just what to do, and in about an hour,
when some of the medicines they had brought had been administered, Mr.
Jackson opened his eyes.
“Where are we? What happened? Is there any hope? Can you see any vessel
that will save us?” he gasped. Evidently he thought himself still
aboard his own craft.
“You are all right, Wescott!” said Mr. Snodgrass. “Don’t you know me?”
“Uriah Snodgrass!” gasped the millionaire. “Well, of all things! How
did you get aboard the _Manhattan_?”
“I didn’t. It’s you who are aboard here. You’ve been rescued! The
_Manhattan_ is no more!” And the scientist quickly explained what had
happened.
Mr. Jackson rapidly recovered from the fumes of the gas, as did the
members of the crew, and his friend, Mr. Watson, who had made the trip
with him. Then the story of the rescue was told.
In turn Mr. Jackson related how, after ascending to a great height
soon after leaving the aviation grounds, his craft was caught in the
hurricane and driven out to sea. Then the propelling machinery broke,
and they could only drift about at the mercy of the wind. For days they
were driven onward, thinking each hour would be their last. They tried
to signal for help from steamers passing below them, but could not, as
their wireless was soon out of order, and they were too high up to make
any other means effective.
They dared not descend, for fear of being drowned. Besides, to go down,
they would have had to let the gas escape, and they had no means of
making more. To keep afloat was their only hope, and they did, trusting
to be rescued some time. Then they were blown out of the steamship
lane, and did not know what to do.
Finally, when they had given up hope, and were going to descend, and
try to make some sort of a raft to float on, there came a leak in the
gas-bag, and, one by one, they became unconscious. A little longer and
they would have been dead. But the _Comet_ came along in time.
“Well, I certainly am glad to see you again, professor; and also your
young friends,” said Mr. Jackson heartily, when he was feeling somewhat
stronger.
“And _I’m_ glad to see you,” spoke Ned.
“Yes, my friend here has a request to make of you,” went on Mr.
Snodgrass, “and, if possible, I wish you would grant it. He has had
quite a chase after you.”
“I’d do most anything for you, Uriah,” declared the millionaire, with a
smile, “for I haven’t forgotten the service you did me.”
“Then save Ned’s father from financial ruin,” was the request, and Ned
at once brought out his papers, and made a plea for the rescue of his
parent’s business. It did not take Mr. Jackson a moment to make up his
mind.
“Of course I’ll help Mr. Slade,” he said; “not only for his own sake,
but because of his plucky son and his chums, and also to beat that gang
of men who want to ruin him. Here, I’ll sign at once, and you can be a
witness, Uriah.” There was the scratching of a pen, and Ned knew that
his father’s troubles were practically over.
Rapidly the _Comet_ sped on her way, being headed toward New York.
Every hour the rescued ones recovered their strength, and soon all
traces of the poisonous gas had vanished. Ned was eager to telegraph
the good news to his father, and Jerry was soon able to get into
wireless communication with a steamer below them. The operator, though
much surprised to get a message out of the air, readily promised to
relay it to New York and Cresville, as his apparatus had a wider range
than that of the _Comet_.
“Well, I never expected to come so far over the ocean,” remarked Jerry
the next day, when they were nearing the coast. “Our hydroplanes did us
good service.”
“They’re great,” commented Mr. Jackson. “I’m going to put them on the
next air-craft I make.”
“Only for them I’d never have my singing-fish,” said Mr. Snodgrass,
who had made copious notes about his prize. It had died, but he had
preserved it. “It is the most wonderful specimen I ever caught,” he
declared.
However, he soon afterward secured one that was even stranger, when,
in company with our heroes, he went on another voyage with them. The
details of this will be found in the next volume of this Series, to be
called “The Motor Boys on the Wing; or, Seeking the Airship Treasure.”
“I wonder how it will seem to be on solid ground again?” asked Mr.
Watson of Mr. Jackson, when Jerry announced the next day that they were
within sight of New York.
“So good that I’m not going to leave it again in a hurry,” announced
the millionaire. “I’m done with ballooning for the present, though I’m
not going to give it up altogether.”
They flew over New York, to the great astonishment of the millions of
that great city, and on to the aviation ground, where a descent was
made. There our heroes were royally received, and the story of the
marvellous rescue told over and over again. The matter of the claim of
Mr. Muggins was adjusted, his lawyer advising him to accept one hundred
dollars, which he reluctantly did, and the incident was closed.
“Come on, let’s hurry home,” urged Ned, who was anxious to give his
father the valuable paper. Mr. Jackson promised all the financial aid
that Mr. Slade needed, and said he would be glad to see the merchant
get the better of his financial enemies.
And Mr. Slade did so. Thanks to the efforts of Ned and his chums, the
business was saved by Mr. Jackson’s timely help, which was secured only
after such an exciting chase.
Cresville warmly welcomed the boys, who arrived in their motorship, and
Andy Rush was so excited that he could only splutter for nearly half a
day, no one being able to understand what he said.
“It was great! Great! Great!” he finally managed to say, over and over
again.
“Would you undertake it another time, Jerry?” asked Ned one evening,
when they were discussing the recent happenings.
“Oh, I don’t know. I think I would. It was dangerous, but we came out
of it all right.”
“It’s a good thing I stocked up with plenty of provisions,” declared
Bob, and his two chums laughed. And now, we will leave the Motor Boys
for a while, and say good-by.
