Then followed a full page of the matter that Bob and Buck had written and a graphic story, written by night city editor Latimer, of how the Herald discovered the Ocean Flyer, of the “beat” that was not printed and a full account of Ned Napier and Alan Hope, the “Airship Boys.”
When the Ocean Flyer reached the yards of the aeroplane factory in Newark fifteen minutes later and came to a final stop, there was no more demonstration than might have followed a half hour’s flight out over the marshes. President Atkinson was awaiting his friends. As he took Ned’s hand he handed him a telephone message just received. It read:
“Heartiest congratulations to Captain Ned Napier and his associates on accomplishing the greatest feat of the age; an airship journey from London to New York in twelve hours. Consider contract carried out. Editor Herald.”
This is the sixth story in the AIRSHIP BOYS Series. The seventh is entitled THE AIRSHIP BOYS AS DETECTIVES Or, Secret Service in Cloudland. This worthy successor of the OCEAN FLYER deals with the fascinating task of guarding both frontiers of the United States, bringing into play the most modern and effective means—the airship. Accurate information—exciting situations—rapid action—thrilling adventures—make this story one every boy will want to read.
