The various pieces of apparatus were working well, though the engine had not yet been speeded up to its limit. Tom wanted it to "warm up" first.

Now, Mr. Damon, if you will just take charge of the steering apparatus for a minute, I want to go aft.” “What for?” “I wish to see if everything is all right. I can't imagine why Eradicate was making those queer motions.” Mr. Damon, who knew how to operate the Red Cloud, was soon guiding her on the course, while Tom made his way to the rear compartments, through the motor room, where the stores of supplies and food were kept. He made a careful examination, looking from an after window, and even going out on a small, open platform, but could discover nothing wrong. “I guess Rad was just capering about without any special object,” mused Tom, but it was not long after this that they learned to their dismay, that the colored man had had a method in his madness. On his way back through the motor room Tom looked to the machinery, and adjusted some of the auxiliary oil feeders.
