CHAPTER VII
THE TRIAL TRIP
"THIS is my busy day!" announced the young inventor as he went
into the Nestor sitting room, where the telephone was installed.
"Perhaps it is some one else who wants you to come to their
rescue," suggested Mary.
But it was not, as Tom related a little later when he had
finished his talk over the wire.
"Just a business matter," he announced to Mary and her mother,
when he rejoined them. "A gentleman with whom I expect to make a
submarine trip is at the house, and wants to consult with me
about details. He is getting anxious to start. Mr. Damon is
there, too."
"Blessing every thing he lays eyes on, I suppose," remarked
Mrs. Nestor, with a smile.
"Yes, and some things he doesn't see," agreed Tom. "He is going
with us on this submarine trip."
"Oh, Tom, are you going to undertake another of those dangerous
voyages?" asked Mary, in some alarm.
"Well, I don't know that they are particularly dangerous,"
replied Tom, with a smile. "But we expect to make a search for a
sunken treasure ship in a submarine.
