Q: CHAPTER XX 

A LONG CHASE BEGUN 

As they journeyed down the Hudson the boys and Martin Harris scanned the river eagerly for some sign of the _Flyaway_. 

"It's ten to one she put down a pretty good distance," remarked Dick. "They wouldn't bring Dora over here unless they were bound for New York or some other place as far or further." 

"I believe you," said Tom. "But she may be delayed, and if what Harris says is true the _Searchlight_ ought to make better time than Baxter's craft." 

Several miles were covered, when, Sam, who had just come up from the cabin, called attention to a farmer who was ferrying a load of hay across the river. 

"If he's been at that sort of work all day he may know something of the _Flyaway_," he suggested. 

"We'll hail him, anyway," said Tom. "It won't do any harm, providing we don't lose any time." 

So the farmer was hailed and asked if he had seen anything of the craft. 

"Waal now, I jest guess I did," he replied. "They war havin' great times on board of her--a takin' care of that crazy gal." 

"A crazy girl!" cried Dick. "Who said she was crazy?" 

"One of the young men. He said she was his sister and had escaped from some asylum. She called to me to help her. But I don't want nuthin' to do with crazy gals. My wife's cousin was out of his head and he cut up high jinks around the house, a-threatenin' folks with a butcher knife."

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. Library Journal is an American trade publication for librarians. It was founded in 1876 by Melvil Dewey (familiar as the inventor of the Dewey decimal system). It reports news about the library world, emphasizing public libraries, and offers feature articles about aspects of professional practice. It also reviews library-related materials and equipment. 

Its "Library Journal Book Review" does pre-publication reviews of several hundred popular and academic books each month. 

"Library Journal" has the highest circulation of any librarianship journal, according to Ulrich's — approximately 100,000. 

"Library Journal's" original publisher was Frederick Leypoldt, whose company became R. R. Bowker. Reed International (now Reed Business Information) purchased Bowker in 1985; they published "Library Journal" until 2010, when it was sold to Media Source, owner of the Junior Library Guild and "The Horn Book Magazine". 

Founded in 1876 by Melvil Dewey, "Library Journal" originally declared itself to be the "official organ of the library associations of America and of the United Kingdom." Indeed, the journal's original title was "American Library Journal", though "American" was removed from the title after the first year. Its early issues focused on the growth and development of libraries, with feature articles by such prominent authors as R. R. Bowker, Charles Cutter, and Melvil Dewey, and focusing on cataloging, indexing, and lending schemes. In its early issues, Bowker discussed cataloging principles; Cutter, creator of the Cutter Expansive Classification system, developed his ideas; and managing editor Dewey made recommendations for early library circulation systems. Initially, "Library Journal" did not review books unless they related to librarians' professional interests, but then, like now, the journal ran articles on collection development and ads from publishers recommending their forthcoming books for libraries to purchase. 1.

CHAPTER THREE. 

THE COTTAGE AT COVE INVADED--DAN HORSEY SPEAKS "TOORKO" TO RUSSIANS, AND FAILS TO ENLIGHTEN THEM. 

Retracing his steps hastily to the village of Cove, Stephen Gaff sought out his own humble cottage, which, during his absence on his frequent voyages, was left under the charge of his fisherman brother-in-law, John Furby. Presenting himself at the door, he created the family sensation which has been described at the end of the first chapter. 

The first violent demonstrations of surprise and joy over, Mrs Gaff dragged her husband into a small closet, which was regarded by the household in the light of a spare room, and there compelled him to change his garments. While this change was being made the volatile Bu'ster, indignant at being bolted out, kicked the door with his heel until he became convinced that no good or evil could result from the process. Then his active mind reverted to the forbidden loaf, and he forthwith drew a chair below the shelf on which it lay. Upon the chair he placed a three-legged stool, and upon the stool an eight-inch block, which latter being an unstable foundation, caused Billy to lose his balance when he got upon it. The erection instantly gave way, and fell with a hideous crash. Tottie, who stood near, gazing at her brother's misdeeds, as was her wont, in awe-stricken admiration, was overwhelmed in the debris. 

Nothing daunted, the Bu'ster "returned to the charge," and fell a second time,--with the loaf, however, in his arms.  What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. Was Mrs. Gaff surprised to see her husband?
