sat on the dock until he go& aTss3- thing ready-all of US. that Is, excep$ Mrs. Green, who complained & Q headache, poor old lady. ana decided to stay in bed.
 I did not help BOpp on hiS way much, as 1 should have liked Go. be- cause I know my Limitations when 6 comes to motorboats. Now, with G9 automobile am right at home. When a car refuses to do what the advertise ments claim for 1t, all you need tO do Is to get out the tool kit, jack up enc of the axles and telephone the neGreSS garage. Sometimes 1t isn't even nee essary to use the Jack, but it looks more professional and tmpresses your passengers with your mechanical skth.
 Bopp looked the engine over and Eni&. ed. Looks like 1t was built by one armed plumbers assistant with One s. vitus dance. However, iSS very sim pie. A child could understand thiE."
 He pulled a few leveFs, set tho 6eesC" ing wheel and started tO crank tE
 "Monty," he commanded, 7oOSeD that line there, and when tho engine GtSrts throw 1t aboard 30 I wOaS hRHs Co leave the steering wheel"
 l did as he asked.
 He turned the AywhSei SNsE pain fully. There was sort ce wheezing sound, but nothing resembling me reg ular explosion of a marine motor tn tho flush of perfect health feeling ies OatA
 ''The engine is cold, 2" he announced
 ''The principle of the gasoline en- zine" lectured glibly to Luefs 'E9 easily comprehensible to the intellect of a boy of ten. It consists simply oS mixing gasoline in the thlng-aIBa-jig which is drawn Into e Ehnt-d'-youSsI- 1t in the engine, and then whan an electric spark Is applied from the ding- bat there is an explosion. SSO-hs turns the wheel sover-thiS draws the charge of gas into the engine-noW thS eccentric trips the sparkling devtcS- now listen intently for tho eIploslon. You can't hear 1t because there &s a very good muller on the boat"
 Bopp expressed what be thought G6 me by hitting the engine q smart rap with the monkey wrench.
 Whats the matterT inquired Lu- cTle sweetly, wishing to smooth mAtteEs over. Wont the engine runT'
 That Is always the prize question to ask the operator of gasoline engine on a boat or an auto NGI& tiEsO y0a see an auto stalled besids EhS read, with the driver dripping perHUiEstton and tearing his heart out at tho cTRnks ask him that, and you wtn heRH Alm pour out his lnnermost soul lp wc0dS of one syllable.
 Bopp seemed dislnclined Go RAREaF, so I did 1t for him. ~YoO BeO, Do could make the engine go, any eh1a sClSS, but he wants to get it all VSTR0a Ep before be starts 1t. It 5 really EsD8- ness on hls part Eo huna1O RSa would want to make PouE, rcsas SsGs- line engine run fast right Gt AEO& BOaI MT. Bopp is going to hold t En his A9 until 1t gets warm"
 "Oh, dry up!" snapped BopP tM3o' litely.
 That's impossible" retortOd. '"Gns earth itself is over. two-thirds wHssR, and I stack up Considerably higsas than that"
 Bopp now had a smudGO c& 6aSs grease on his light trousers. he'd SSEa a blister on the palm oG bic hand cad had used up a collar completely. Hs opened a valve on top oS tho SnEnA sniffed suspiciously and looked VtSo.

 After rummagtns around A Ghs sScas CT for awhile he got out eonoctiea Q, tools and began to EsmoVS Q Oecai psEa0 from the engine
