The _Horolusa_ had left Norfolk with the sun shining, but after she had steamed a day on her way to Boston the weather changed, the sun becoming obscured by heavy clouds and the...

At just the place in the pipe that Joe had grabbed there was a band running around it, perhaps a quarter of an inch thick. It was smooth and slippery, but yet gave more support...

It was in a tumult of excitement that the radio boys started out to run down Dan Cassey, who they felt sure was the rascal who had assaulted Brandon Harvey and robbed the safe....

"But valuable as the radio was in war," Brandon went on, "I believe it is going to be still more valuable in the matter of maintaining peace. I think, in fact, that it may do aw...

"I might have expected that that would hit you pretty hard," replied Bob, with what was meant to be withering sarcasm, though Jimmy did not "bat an eyelash." "But it doesn't app...

His friend did as directed, and Buck juggled the spark and throttle controls until his craft attained a speed that would have been sufficient to have left the average cruising m...

For the next week the radio boys worked like beavers. They had pored over the catalogue that, according to his promise, Dr. Dale had lent them, and, acting on his advice, had pi...

"I noticed that," said Joe dryly, as he picked up his books. "Only instead of doing it with your fists, you were going to do it with your books, like the coward that you are. Yo...

"Never mind about that now, Doughnuts," said Bob. "Just grab hold of a screw driver and open some of these boxes. There's nothing like a little exercise to drive the sleep out o...

"It's about getting a vacuum tube," replied Bob, in answer to the doctor's question. "The crystal detector is all right when we use the ear pieces. But we got to thinking about...
