"Have halliards reeved and run it up, Hazzard," said Captain Barrington, who came up at this moment, "the lads have certainly made a clean sweep."
So it came about that a strange emblem that much puzzled the captain of the Brutus was run up to the main-mast head as the two s.h.i.+ps drew together.
"That's the Boy Aviators' standard," said Billy, proudly surveying it.
"We win."
Shortly afterward a boat from the Brutus came alongside with the mail.
"Letters from home," what magic there is in these words to adventurers who have long sojourned in the solitary places of the earth! Eagerly the boys seized theirs and bore them off to quiet corners of the deck.
"Hurrah," cried Billy, after he had skimmed through his epistles. "I'm commissioned to write up the trip for two newspapers and a magazine.
How's your news, boys, good?"
The boys looked up from their pile of correspondence.
"I'm afraid we're going to have a regular reception when we get home,"
said Frank rather apprehensively.
"Hurray! Bra.s.s-bands--speeches--red-fire and big-talk," cried Billy.
"None of that for us," said Harry, "I guess we'll retire to the country for a while, till it blows over."
But they did not escape, for on the arrival of the Polar s.h.i.+ps in New York the boys and the commanders of the expedition were seized on and lionized till newer idols caught the popular taste. Then, and not till then, were they allowed to settle down in peace and quiet to tabulate the important scientific results of the expedition.
As for the Professor, what he wrote about Professor Tapper--a screed by the way that nearly caused a mortal combat between the two savants--may be read in his ma.s.sive volume ent.i.tled "The Confutation of the Tapper Theory of a South Polar Fur-Bearing Pollywog, by Professor Simeon Sandburr." It weighs twelve pounds, and can be found in any large library.
CONCLUSION.
And here, although the author would dearly like to detail their further adventures, we must bid the Boy Aviators "Farewell." Those who have followed this series know, however, that the lads were not likely to remain long inactive without seeking further aerial adventures.
Whether the tale of these will ever be set down cannot at this time be forecast. The Chester boys adventures have been recorded, not as the deeds of paragons or phenomenons, but as examples of what pluck, energy, and a mixture of brains, can accomplish,--and with this valedictory we will once more bid "G.o.d speed" to "The Boy Aviators."
THE END.
