Chapter XIX
UNCLE EZRA'S ACCIDENT For some seconds after he had been taken up in the atmosphere in his airship, Uncle Ezra said nothing. He just sat there in the padded seat, clutching with his hands the rails in so tight a grip that his knuckles showed white. Up and up they went, Larson skillfully guiding the craft, until they were a considerable distance above the earth. "That's--that's far enough!" Uncle Ezra managed to yell, above the throb of the now throttled-down motor.
