CHAPTER XIII.THE END.
It was a thrilling situation for the explorers.
For a moment they stood, overcome with horror.
Of course, it would not be difficult to shoot down the strange men, but Frank did not wish to do this.
He was ever humane, and averse to taking human life unless it was absolutely necessary.
But how were they to get possession of the armor?
It was absolutely necessary to do this to get aboard the Explorer once more.
“Whew!” exclaimed Roger. “Here’s a pretty how-de-do!”
“I should say so!”
“They’ve got the best of us.”
“It seems so!”
“What is to be done?”
This was a question.
But the barbarians proceeded to solve this for themselves.
They began to rip one of the suits of armor literally to pieces.
Frank could not stand this.
He stepped out into view.
“Hey there!” he shouted. “What are you doing there?”
The wild men turned like a flash.
They saw Frank and a wild yell went up from them.
They started for him brandishing their clubs.
“They are coming!” cried Roger.
“Whurroo! Shure, I’ll drop wan av thim!” cried Barney.
All threw their rifles to their shoulders, but Frank put up his hand.
“Hold!” he cried. “Don’t one of you fire until I give the word.”
Then he threw his own rifle to his shoulder and fired.
But the bullet was sent into the air.
The shot had the effect upon the barbarians that Frank had hoped it would.
They halted in terror.
The flash and report was something which they could not understand.
“Now!” cried Frank. “All fire into the air!”
The volley was given.
The deafening report was too much for the barbarians.
They turned and fled incontinently.
“Now!” cried Frank. “Quick!”
All started for the shore.
Barney quickly had his diving suit on.
He plunged into the water.
The barbarians stood at a distance and watched.
The party fired their rifles repeatedly to increase the fright of the foe.
Some time passed.
Then suddenly there was a commotion of the waters.
The submarine boat came to the surface like a cork.
Barney ran it almost up to the shore, and the party clambered aboard.
A parting volley was fired and a cheer given.
Then the Explorer sailed away down the Arctic river to the sea.
Homeward bound!
These were magic words.
The boat kept on across the open Polar Sea, and finally reached the ice barrier.
To the joy of all, an open passage was found, and it did not become necessary for the Explorer to go under the ice.
The voyage homeward proved a propitious one.
When at length the last iceberg faded from view, and the Atlantic tossed about them, all were happy.
Frank Reade, Jr.’s, Arctic voyage had been a glowing success.
Not one on board but was in the highest of spirits.
In due course of time Readestown was reached in safety.
The return of the submarine boat marked an epoch in the town’s history.
A grand reception was held for the returned explorers.
But the happiest of all was Alexander Harmon.
His greeting to his long-lost son was most intense and warm.
He embraced Frank Reade, Jr., and cried, fervently:
“Oh, you are my best and dearest friend! You have made an old man happy.”
But Frank himself was fully as happy in the realization.
The Explorer was stored away to be used upon some future occasion. But Frank Reade, Jr., was not idle.
He at once began to work upon a new invention, which he was resolved should eclipse all previous attempts. His success in this may be learned in a future number of this library.
