"By George!" said Hal to Chester, as the craft rose from the ground.
"That looks easy. I believe I could do it myself."
"It looks easy," Chester admitted. "But how do you suppose a fellow would feel sailing along up there?"
"I guess it would scare me a little at first, but, just the same, I should like to try it."
After circling around for several minutes, Fritz brought the machine back to its starting point and, lightly as a bird it dropped to the ground.
"Would you like to take a short flight?" he asked the boys.
Chester backed away.
"Not for me," he declared. "I would lose my head sure, if I got up there."
Hal laughed.
"You don't want to pay any attention to him when he talks like that," he told Fritz. "I never saw anything yet he was afraid to do."
"After what I saw in the house to-day, I can well believe that," replied the young German. "Would you like to go up?" to Hal. "You know the machine will only carry two."
