Dick Prescott was able to remain several days longer—–­long enough, in fact, to see the more substantial structure of the million-dollar breakwater begin to go up just inside the completed retaining wall.

Then Lieutenant Dick was obliged to resume his journey on to Fort Clowdry, Colorado.  What happened to Prescott, after joining the army as an officer, is told in “Uncle Sam’s Boys on Field Duty,” the second volume in the “Boys of the Army Series.”

Though Harry Hazelton was disappointed in missing some of the excitement at Blixton, he had no occasion to complain in that respect when he and Tom entered upon the next great undertaking of the young engineer pair.

After the disappearance of the big black from the scene there was no further trouble at the breakwater.

Blixton is now an important though artificial harbor.  With the completion of the breakwater, and the building of a lighthouse, the next work undertaken was the building of stone docks at which the steamships of the Melliston Line now dock.

The next adventures that befell Tom and Harry were destined to be the most wonderful and exciting of all.  These adventures must be reserved for complete telling in the next volume in this series, which is published under the title, “The Young Engineers In The Lead; Or, The stroke That Made Them Masters of Their Field.”

It is a story of almost incredible efforts, backed by strong ambition, of two American youths who had both the desire and the will to toil unceasingly and at last reach their goal.
