CHAPTER I
A Puzzling Message

"LET'S see if you can get us down in one piece, Frank!" Blond,
seventeen-year-old Joe Hardy leaned forward in the airplane as his brother
circled in for a landing at the Bayport airfield.
"Don't worry, Joe. If we crack up the first time, I'll try again," the
dark-haired boy quipped. Frank, who was a year older than Joe, grinned as he
eased the craft downward in a graceful turn.
A third occupant of the plane, the regular pilot, smiled and said, "You're doing
fine, Frank." Jack Wayne, lean-faced and tanned, was Mr. Hardy's pilot on all
his chartered flights. Today Jack was teaching the boys how to fly the
six-place, single-engine plane which their father had purchased recently.
"There's a gusty wind, so come in at a slightly higher airspeed," Jack reminded
his pupil.
Frank's pulse quickened as he lined up on the runway and reduced power. The
beautiful blue-and-white craft descended in a normal glide.
The landing strip and parked planes below seemed to rush up at them, the details
growing larger as Frank headed toward the ground.
"Watch out for those telephone lines!" Joe cried out.
The wires loomed squarely in front of the plane's nose. If Frank had judged his
glide angle correctly, the wires should be dropping below his field of vision.
Instead, they seemed to be coming straight at the plane!
