As soon as Jerry found the chief and his men were about to start he hurried back to the Dartaway’s boat house and made ready for his return trip. He found the engine needed some slight adjustments, and quickly made them.
While he was bending over the cylinders, putting in some new spark plugs, he heard a step behind, and Andy Rush joined him.
“Are you going on another trip?”
“Yes, want to come along?” asked Jerry, for he liked Andy, in spite of the galvanic battery action of the younger lad.
“Say! Do I!”
“Jump in,” spoke Jerry.
Jerry looked over the engine to see that it was in good order. He filled the auxiliary gasolene tank, took aboard some extra batteries and other supplies and announced he was ready to start.
“We’ll see if we can’t catch the Terror,” he remarked, having told Andy something of the plans afoot.
Jerry cranked up the motor. It throbbed and roared and he was about to throw in the clutch and send the boat off when some one hailed him.
