you and Tim come along with us."
"Surest thing you know!" ejaculated Larry, and Tim acquiesced with equal
enthusiasm.
They parted for the night with a feeling on both sides of warm liking and
esteem and a looking forward to a most enjoyable time on the following
day.
The next morning the radio boys set out shortly after breakfast, met Larry
and Tim at a point previously agreed upon, and together took their way
toward the wireless station.
Mr. Harvey was alone when they entered, and jumped to his feet with hands
extended in greeting and a face beaming with welcome.
"What good wind blew you over here?" he exclaimed, as he shook their hands

knocked me out. Have they told you about that?" he asked, turning to Larry
and Tim.
"Not a word," replied Larry.
"Never breathed it," declared Tim.
"Just like them," asserted Brandon Harvey, and then went on to tell them
of that dreadful night when the storm was raging; how they had found him
knocked senseless on the floor and the safe looted; how they had sent the
signals that had saved the ship from destruction; how they had pursued
the robber and captured him after a hand to hand tussle and recovered the
loot.
"Well, now about the wireless," interposed Bob, anxious to change the
subject. "These friends of ours are a new addition to the army of fans and
we want to put them next to some of the w
