when Tom was telling her about it a few days afterward。
〃No。 I guess I must apologize to him。〃 Which Tom did; but Andy did
not receive it very graciously; especially as Tom accused him of trying to
destroy the Humming…Bird。
Andy denied this and denied having anything to do with the
mysterious fire; and; as there was no way to prove him guilty; Tom could
not proceed against him。 So the matter was dropped。
Mr。 Swift continued to improve; and was soon himself again; and able
to resume his inventive work。 Tom received several offers to give
exhibition flights at big aero meets; but refused; as he was busy on his new
rifle。 Mr。 Damon helped him。
Andy Foger made several successful flights in his queer aeroplane;
which turned out to be the product of a German genius who was supplied
with money by Mr。 Foger。 Andy became very proud; and boasted that he
and the German were going abroad to give flights in Europe。
〃I'd be glad if he would;〃 said Tom; when he heard of the plan。 〃He
wouldn't bother me then。〃
With the money received from winning the big race; and from his
contracts from the Government; Tom Swift was now in a fair way to
become quite wealthy。 He was destined to have many more adventures;
yet; come what might; never would he forget the thrilling happenings that
fell to his lot while flying for the ten…thousand dollar prize in his sky racer。
