coming down to tell you that a report has just come over the radio that the 'Silver Streak' has crashed in the ocean, and the crew has been picked up by a passing steamer!"

"Well, it won't be long now,"commented Bronson to General Lippitt. "We've got Pug locked up in the hold, Von Brachet's taken Larrney's place, and its but a few miles to Paris."
"Dr. Gordy is going to meet us there, isn't he,Questioned the General.
"Yes", answered Bronson,"Gordy left the factories last week,saying he would take the steamer'New France' over, and be there a day ahead of us, so as to welcome us in. Look there's the lights of Paris now."

Slowing the rockets, Bronson began to bring the 'Gordy' down for a landing. As they hit the denser atmosphere, they could hear the air whistling past the hull. Down out of the inky black of the stratosphere, the 'Gordy' came, getting nearer and nearer to the large field just outside the city, that had been cleared for a landing place. The gigantic floodlights dug deep into the night, picking out the rocket as it came in, jets roaring brilliant red against the dark sky.

The large crowds had been roped back so as to give the ship ample space to land in. Bronson brought the ship in as if he had been doing it all his life. It skidded to a stop several hundred yards from the spot where it had first touched.

As the metal hatch clanged open, the crowds broke through the ropes, and in a few seconds had reached the spot where the crew had alighted. The police soon cleared a way through the crowd, and several high French officials came forward to greet the five men. Among the officials was a tall, thin,young man.
"There is Dr. Gordy,"Exclaimed Bronson, hailing the thin young man. As Gordy approached, Bronson rushed to meet him.
"John, John Gordy, am I glad to see you", he said. A wan smile crossed the face of the tall, thin young Doctor.
"Well", continued Bronson"We won! We've made the fastest trip across the Atlantic on record!"
"Yes", smiled Gordy,"The fastest trip---on record!"
