Hal banked and turned. It was good tofeel the ship respond to him, dipping onehuge wing slowly, and turning about gracefullyin a great circle. If not for Pat, hishappiness would have been complete.
They got Pat to the hospital, where itwas found that the nasty crack on the skullhad given him a slight concussion. But youcouldn’t keep Pat down. It merely meantpostponing that trip, not cancelling it.
Hal was the hero of the day. The newspapers, who got the story at the airport, hounded him until he conquered his shyness, just to get rid of them. They made the mostof the story, and Hal was almost afraid toleave the house, for fear some of his friendswould meet him in the street, because Halwas still the same modest retiring soul thathe had been.
But he did leave the house to go down tothe hospital to see Pat, along with Bob andCaptain Bill. Pat was sitting outside in awheelchair when they came, and they satdown on the grass beside him, and talkedabout their postponed trip.
“Do you know,” said Captain Bill,“when we come back from our trip, there’ssomething that’s going to keep me busy.”
“What’s that?” asked Bob.
“I’m going to collect all of those storieswe told into a book. What do you think ofthat for an idea?”
“Great!” said Bob. “All of our stories?Mine, too?”
“Sure, all of them.”
“But Hal won’t have a story. He hasn’ttold one,” said Bob.
“Hal’s going to be the hero,” said theCaptain.
THE END
