“I am sure we can build such a flying boat, father.” “Humph! I wish I had your confidence, Tom,” chuckled Mr. Barton Swift, the old inventor. His son laughed, too. “It isn’t confidence you lack,” he said. “It is just that you are too cautious to seem optimistic.” “Have it your own way,” rejoined his father. “Just the same, a speed boat for the air, land, and sea that will do all you suggest is something to consider fearfully.

The red-faced man in his eagerness was leaning forward now. "Yes, Mr. Cunningham, I refuse!" was Tom's crisp answer. "The...

Entering Tom Swift’s private laboratory from a room farther down the hall, Ned Newton, who seemed somewhat out of breath, glanced at the young inventor and asked: “Do you seem to be getting anywhere with it, Tom?” For a moment there was no reply. Tom, who had been leaning over a complicated apparatus of wires, switches, and radio bulbs that glowed dimly, was slowly turning a dial. Ned repeated his question, adding: “What seems to be the trouble?” “Trouble?” queried Tom, looking at Ned with...
