Description
Excerpt: Chapter One. TOM HOPES FOR A PRIZE. ?Father,? exclaimed Tom Swift, looking up from a paper he was reading, ?I think I can win that prize!? ?What prize is that?? inquired the aged inventor, gazing away from a drawing of a complicated machine, and pausing in his task of making some intricate calculations. ?You don?t mean to say, Tom, that you?re going to have a try for a government prize for a submarine, after all.? ?No,? not a submarine prize, dad,? and the youth laughed. ?Though our Advance would take the prize away from almost any other under?water boat, I imagine. No, it?s another prize I'm thinking about.?
