There, the m mbers of the club could be. seen most ang time after school hours as soon as the water grew warm enough to xwim In, A springboard furuished the diving apparatus, and was in great requisition during the first week or two of the bathing wason, But however Jt might meet the requirements of the crowd the modern progressive spirit of Ploy Quick wae hardly satisfled, The clab-owed most of its success to the original amusement ideas Pliny had developed and carried out, principally through Austen and the two young r members of the Quick Quartet. So Pliny set his brain to work to evolve something new for the swimming hi And the great water-go-ronn the rewult. By looking at-thepicture you may see Why Pliny selected the tiny ialand Just off the banks of the wimming bole. The water was more than/ten feet deep on all aides of the Island, which suited Pliny s purpos . Thus it was plenty deep enough for a dive without Injury from any part of its edz, For the water-go-round wis built principally to introdace what Pliny afterward ealled the distance dive. Bet firet lot me further explain the won- derful marine invention. Now, the water. go-roynd vas: really puilt on the same prineiple- us a merry-go-round. Only, in- stead of pushing the apparatus around, the wound-up drum shown. was intro- duced. The heavy plank was firmly spiked to- the base of the bargel that served xa the dram, This made the plank and dram one piece, so that when the drum revolved the plank must, also Of course an axle must be made to re- Yolye around, and Pliny procured a heavy round hickory post two inches thick at the top. The top of it can just be seen projecting through the centre of the bar- Te) head. ; This. upright axle was stood firmly and nnovably in a deep bole cut In the top -of the heavy foundation, made of the rama burted in t eof island. A cir olar immovable base for the plank to revolve on was then slipped over the axle. Then the plank and drum were placed in position shown. After this the land upright and the connecting cross piece Now the drum-was wound up by long ngth of strong rope, th rope end hav- fng been firet tialled to-the top tim of the dcum. The gverhgid rollers to it loose end of the fope were ready was passed throngh them, all the working parts were well offe aid the water-go- ound was ready for business. the fitst ride for Austen and himseif. The; took their positions at either end of the plank. One or two boys were detailed to set the apparatus in motion by giving it a few turns, while the instant the drum beran to revolve .Tony Quick, who was mouated on the one horse power motor, started to ride away with the rope end, It was now easy for the General, the pow- erful farm horse, to do his part, thus causing the drum to keep turning as be walked off, a- First ft revolved siowly, then-faster, as the General increased his speed and the rope paid out more rapidly. Pliny and Austeh were now whirling at a dizzy vate. Finally, just as the rope end was almost paid Gut to its full length, Pliny leaped, the momentum imparted by the) Whirling plapk threw him far out over the water and he struck its surface, achieving the longest dive ever made into the swim- ming hole But the record only lasted second, for hardly had Pliny dived when Austen followed him, striking the water at least-two yards further ot because of his superior strength, Now the horse power motor, having paid Out the entire rope Jength, dropped it on the turf, and the whirling dram av- tolaticajly pewound the rope, thus mak- Ing: ready for the next contest. The old springbourd was deserted that afternoon, for the boys fairly swarmed on the water- go-round and even almost fought for the privilege of diving upon the new me- chanical marvel. The water-go-round was ep instant success. But it thust not be thought Pliny meant to confe this new amusement on his friends for nothing. Secitig its moneymak- ing possibiliries Pliny sat up late that same evening printing tickets on his little printing press: Tims, when the boys as- sembled the next afternoon, they fond hey must pay for their fun at the high Fates of five dives or rides for-t-cent,ten dives for J cents and twenty-five for rants. e .
