waters of the harbor it was true not a sign of the boys coum bo seen had both perished in the terrific explosion we could only stand frozen with fear wondering suddenly kennedy started down the side of the- cliff toward the dock there they are watch that sinking motorboat sure enough both ken and hank had been blown to the far side of the motorboat when the great crash came they had come up and had struck out for the nearest floating thing which was the motorboat achough it was sinking it afforded them something to hang on as for the duck boat it had been completely wiped out by the terrific force of the wireless bimb set off by an apparatus tuned to a certain combination of wavelengths by which a current was released through sparking coil and the fuse lighted we lost no time dashing down
