"Day's coming on, and we're all on deck with nothing gone wrong!" he
observed loud enough for the others to hear him. This chanced to be
one of Bud's ways of informing his chums that he thought it high
time they turned out for "reveille."
As there was no use in trying to sleep any longer with the anxious Bud
on deck, since this was to be looked upon as his particular day, Hugh
and Ralph followed the other's example, and were soon hustling out to
wash in water that nearly froze their fingers it was so cold.
The sun was nearing the horizon, and from all indications it promised
to be just such a day as the one before had proved; which fact
delighted Bud immensely.
"Because," he explained after giving an exhibition of a Highland Fling
to allow some of his pent-up enthusiasm to escape, "this is the day
a Morgan is going to win fame or else make the grandest foozle you
ever saw."

THE "FOOL-PROOF" AEROPLANE
"That was a good breakfast, all right, but I'm glad it's over," Bud
remarked some time later.
Ralph, of course, did not exactly understand what this meant, but
Hugh knew. He was in the confidence of the young inventor far enough
to appreciate his eagerness to be at work.
