"We don't want the lantern," said Matt, coming back and handing the light to McGlory. "Lock up the shack when you leave and bring the key with you, Joe."
McGlory was nervous and apprehensive. He grabbed Matt's hand before he took his seat.
"It's a risky venture," he breathed.
"A little risk, of course," answered Matt. "There always is."
"But this is night, pard. You never tried to fly the machine at night before."
"There's always got to be a first time."
"There's some wind, too."
"Not enough to be dangerous."
"You'll win out, Motor Matt," said Cameron; "you always do."
"There's got to be a first time when he won't," croaked McGlory dismally.
