"We won't make a descent until we get to Siberia," said Tom, "and I

He stopped suddenly and shrugged his shoulders.
"What were you going to say?" inquired Ned.
"Oh, it's just something that might happen, but it's too remote a
possibility to work about. We're leaving those fellows nicely behind,"
he added quickly, as though anxious to change the subject.
"Yes, at this rate we'll soon be out of France," observed Tom, as he
speeded the ship along still more. The young inventor wondered what Mr.
Petrofsky had been going to say, but soon after this, some of the
repaired machinery in the motor room needed adjusting, and the young
inventor was kept so busy that the matter passed from his mind.
The dynamo and magneto were doing much more efficient work since Tom had
put the new platinum in, and the Falcon was making better time than ever
before. They were flying at a moderate height, and could see wondering

strange sight. Paris was now far behind, and that night they were
approaching the borders of Prussia, as Mn Petrofsky informed them, for
he knew every part of Europe.
