"Come on back and get her," he added to his chum. "Then we'll look for the blue rocks." "I guess we can't find them unless they're right around here," returned Hal, as he moved his light about in a circle. "Why not?" asked Ted. "Because this cave is so dark, and my flashlamp doesn't give much light. We could hardly see the stones if they were here." "Then how are we going to get 'em?"
At the top of the flight was another door, and opening this a bit at a time, he entered the room. All was darkness and silence. He swept his flashlamp around the room, and made a discovery that promised the means of hearing what was going on in the room the plotters were in. In most small towns, and especially in farm houses, a furnace is an unknown quantity.
Each one was crowded with magnificent gems that flashed under the rays of the flashlamp! The men were marched away to the village, where they were incarcerated in the village lockup.
He looked through the darkness into the depths of the cave, his hand on his shock-beam. He was afraid to turn his back on it. This is nonsense, he told himself firmly, I'll just walk back there and see what there is. At his belt he had the small flashlamp, excessively bright, that was, like the energon-beam shocker, a part of regulation equipment.
Then I slipped through their fingers I'll never tell you how; it was black as pitch, that night and beat it blind. I'd lost my flashlamp and had no more idea where I was heading than an owl at noon of a sunny day. But they the Popinot outfit seemed to be able to see in the dark all right; or else I was looney with fright.
In a few moments the signal was passed on to the Tompion by means of a flashlamp, the rays of which were invisible save from the direction of the receiver. "Very good," was the cruiser's reply. "Carry on." A little later the general order was flashed in to the convoy. "Increase speed to seventeen knots."
Left alone, Phil stood stockstill for a few minutes, getting his bearings. There was a long hall from which led off ten doors, five on either side. Phil decided he could do nothing better than go from door to door, listening intently at each one, then enter the room and flash his light about, for each of the boys had provided himself with a heavy batteried flashlamp.
He knew it was dangerous to press the button on his flashlamp, but there was nothing else to be done, for he could not go moving through the dark, taking the chance of crashing into a chair or table, and thus advertising his presence in the house.
Lanyard, scrutinising the deck with the flashlamp, stooped, picked up something, and offered it on an outspread palm upon which he trained the clear electric beam. "Cigarette stub?" Monk said, and sniffed. "That's a famous find!" "A cigarette manufactured by the French Régie." "And well stepped on, too," Phinuit observed. "Well, what about it?"
Now see you later," and snapping on his flashlight, went down the crude ladder that gave entrance to the passageway. He waited at the bottom of this ladder until he heard the crunching sound of the feed box being pushed back over the trap door. Then the light of the flashlamp ahead of him in a dancing beam, his heart beating rapidly with excitement, he pushed on.
