“I am Senor Ravello,” he said. “I imagine that you are Senor Reade.”
“I am!” replied Frank.
“I am glad to meet you.”
They shook hands and conversed pleasantly for some moments.
It was an early hour in the morning, and Barney and Pomp went at once to work to take the Man from the cars.
It was unloaded in sections, and then with the aid of half a dozen skilled workmen whom Frank had brought along, it was put together.
Quite a crowd of people were at the station to witness this operation.
They were of all classes and many different nations.
Senor Ravello conversed with Frank and watched with interest the reconstruction of the Steam Man.
“Have you heard from Montaine lately?” asked Frank, casually.
