d. No further fear of blackmailers oppresses him.

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.
