Having arrived there, he sat on the steps, looking out onto the cricket field. His thoughts were miles away, at Wrykyn, when he was recalled to Sedleigh by the sound of somebody running. Focusing his gaze, he saw a dim figure moving rapidly across the cricket field straight for him.
It must be to secure the application of the finest attributes of the race to the work of developing citizenship, which is the art of living together on the highest plane of human life. Citizenship is, in reality, the focusing point of all human virtues though it is often illuminated by the consciousness of a city not made with hands.
Tom raced forward, focusing his electric lamp down on the stone corridor. The next instant he cried out: "A river! It's an underground river and we can't go any further! We're blocked!"
