Hiram called out sharply: "I see it, Dave."

Point lighthouse. I know my bearings, now."

"Are you going to land, Dave?"

"Presently."

"But you're driving out further over the lake."

"Just for a short distance, Hiram," advised Dave. "There's an
island down shore where they run a smelter--ah, I think I locate
it."

Dave was not mistaken. He came within range of some tall, stacks
sending out sparks and flames. Now he changed his course. He kept
his glance fixed below him and to the right as steadily as his
duties at the lever would permit.
