Anyone witness to his acting in this apparently frantic fashion, would suppose him either demented, or fleeing from pursuers who seek nothing less than his life. But as the plain over which he rides is smooth, level, and treeless for long leagues to his rear as also to right and left, and no pursuer nor aught of living thing visible upon it, the latter, at least, cannot be the case.
With a rush they swept up the path and brought up panting at the bottom of our steps. "Peter!" I gasped, descending to be sure that neither of them was bodily broken or demented. "It's across! it's across!" shouted Peter as he reached out his arms and grabbed me in a wild embrace. "What?" Sam and I both demanded, though, of course, in a way we knew.
"We don't know, sir; but we can't get an answer when we knock at the laboratory door. Yet he's there, for it's locked on the inside.
