There were now five of US left.

about twenty minutes had elapsed
when suddenly, directly in front of the

move along the wire. Silhouetted
against the skyline, these forms looked

SO I slyly kicked Sailor Bill, who inn
mediately got wise, and then I broke
the ice with:

soon French was left there alone, sit
