Mr.. Crsyman How are you going
- capture himT
consciously initiating the style OF
Chief Braman. I've got 70 wait for
developments. The only thing At
present is 10 keep aim IN sight. Sut
I've got an idea. II seems 70 me that,
luckily for US he has chosen the very
worst course he could have taken Per
haDs he took Il merely BY chance, not
knowing that We had several SWIFT aeros
a hand and that he would be so per
sistently followed But, anyhow. by
running directly north he must finally
arrive at a point where he VIII have to
turn. He can't seriously think OF TAX
ing refuge in the Arctic SHOWS He
knows that he could get no supplies Of
any kind there. and when his power
was exhausted he would be IN box.
The longer he goes on the way he is
doing the sharper his turn will have TO
be and the greater the advantage to
US Suppose he should start OF at a
right angle 10 his present course, east
or west, then we could approach him
along diagonal and get nearer"
THAT'S true enough said the Sec
rotary; but If he edges of gradually
you would hardly gain anything, and
he would soon have you IN his wake
again
Il don't see how ne can edge of
here I replied. He may. IL Is true
run for Alaska, but on reaching there
/ believe his power would be nearly ex-
And you would be no better on. "
Yes, I should be better of, Tor could
take power from the other aeros-"
II they came up IN time"
They'll not be so far behind. The
slower Of them loses less than ten miles
IN hour That would IN an only an
hour behind time after fourteen or If
teen hours run. II We can run him out
OF power we've got him 90
] should say that the electric storage
natttTles now IN universal use had. at

but they were carried BIZ an crs.It

OF the marvellous Hghtness and com
PaCtness or theiI baJ1eTfes, carry enough
Ior run OF 90 OF 5000 miles. or even
double those dstances, if going 1T a
very moderate speed. But as soon as
me pace was forced. the consumption
OF power was enormously increased
But PaytOn was not such a fool as
had hastily assumed. He knew what
ne was about, and how TO turn when he
wanted to- In the course Of the morn
