"I'm going over the wall," he said, when we were on the ground. "Something's wrong, and we've got to find out what it is." "How will we get down?" asked Simmonds. "There's no ladder there."

It was not pleasant to stand in a strange house in an unknown neighborhood, drenched, hungry and unprotected, hearing fearful sounds like danger threatening under foot.
