The captain turned away before Phil

hurry down the stairs
AS yet theTe had been no shot from
the outside Phil figured that his cousin
must already be on top OF the wall.
He waited in momentary fear OF a
shot from the picket there. he would
readily understand the meaning of that.
Daring knew that there was no reg

feared that one of the roundsmen on
top Of the broad wall would be attracted
TO the place by the shots in time to see
Bob making his escape.

There was a possibility that stevens
