Now, what's to
prevent me from flying a few miles in the direction I last saw
this particular bunch of revolutionists, and taking a chance on
finding out something more?"
"We'll appreciate anything you can do in that direction," said
Frank. "You've given us a clue now, at any rate, and you can bet
we won't be slow in following it up. It's going to be some problem
to get hold of him, but we've solved as hard ones before now, and
I guess we won't let this stump us."
"You told it!" said Bart emphatically. "If the Germans couldn't
get one of us while the war was on, it's a cinch they won't be
able to now when it's all over. If old Tom's alive, we'll rescue
him some way."
Dick Lever described the location of the Spartacides' camp with as
much exactness as he could, and even drew a rough map of the
surrounding country, marking the place where he had seen the
American prisoner with a cross.
The boys thanked him heartily, and then walked back to his section
of the camp, as it was getting close to the time for taps, and
Dick had to be back at his quarters by then. On the way they
talked over old times, and Dick promised to visit them again at
the first opportunity, and made them promise once more to call on
him for help if they thought he could be of service in rescuing
Tom.
