"You're right they are," said Tom, thinking of the troop's motor boat away home in Bridgeboro. "Of course, I don't mind the walk down there," he added, "only it seemed kind of funny " "It's tragic for some of these lame fellows." "Who is the chief engineer," Tom asked. "Oh, he's a kid that was a despatch rider, I think. Anyway, he's wise to motorcycles.
I ordered two motorcycles built along the lines of the machines used there. They arrived here two days ago and are now in their garages waiting for you. These cars are equipped with all kinds of life-saving and first-aid devices, including a stretcher, a pulmotor, bandages and medicines of all kinds.
For at that very instant a band of a dozen Germans flashed by on the road, their motorcycles kicking up a cloud of dust. Hal turned to Chester. "When they fail to find us," he said, "they'll come back, inquiring all along as they return. They are sure to ask for us here." He turned to the woman. "Have you a place where we can hide?" "Yes," she replied, "there is a secret trap-door to the attic.
But he looked ruefully at the spy. "I wish I knew what to do with him," he said. "He'll come to in a little while. But " "We can get away while he's still out," said Dick, quickly. "He can't follow us and we can get such a start with our motorcycles." "Yes, but he'll know their game is up," said Harry. "Don't you see, Dick?
They were sure that if they only dared to raise their heads, they would see the machine rising near by. But there was more to follow that was just as inexplicable. The motorcycles chugged away; then three automobiles started. Their engines roared for a moment before they subsided to the ordered, steady hum of a smooth running motor.
We'd better get to bed now. I think we ought to report just as early as we can in the morning. If we get away by seven o'clock, it won't be a bit too early." "All right. I'll be ready. Good-night, Harry!" "Good-night, Dick!" Morning saw them up on time, and off to Ealing. There Colonel Throckmorton gave them their orders. "I've requisitioned motorcycles for you," he said.
The strange procession of the motorcycles and the marines caused many a surprised halt in the procession of industry. Chinamen stood at one side while the steel horses shot by them, and then gathered in little groups by the wayside to discuss this newest invention of the foreign devils.
Nearing Rheims we turned into a splendid straight highway bordered by trees, where the late afternoon sunlight filtered through the dead leaves, which still hung from the boughs and dappled the yellow road with black splotches, until it made you think of jaguar pelts. Midway of our course here we met troops moving toward us in force. First, as usual, came scouts on bicycles and motorcycles.
The shriek of sirens was heard above the din about the factory building and the great crowd beheld seven motorcycles tearing down the hill at top speed. And just behind them bowled "Old Nanc" at her best. "Have I your permission to take a hand?" demanded Bruce. "Yes! yes! for goodness' sake do anything you can to free him!" cried the chief.
It was now approaching midnight, but the city, was still awake and stirring. The streets were well filled with pedestrians, and many of the small shops were open. Naturally the three motorcycles, speeding through the streets of the ancient city, attracted no little attention. Here and there little groups blocked the way for an instant, but on the whole fair progress was made.
