"Bind them, men," ordered Villaire sternly. "And bind them well, so that escape is impossible." "Run for the house, Aleck!" yelled, out Dick, before those on top of him could choke him off. "Save Tom and Sam! "I will!" came from the faithful black. And off he sped at top speed, with three or four of Captain Villaire's party after him.
He had located Captain Villaire's party at the old fort, and said that several French brigands were on guard, by the trail leading from the swamp and at the cliff overlooking the river. "I see white boy dare too," he added. "Same boy wot yo' give money to in Boma." "Dan Baxter!" ejaculated Sam. "Can it be possible that he is mixed up in this affair?" "I can't understand it at all," returned Tom.
It was two hours later, and the fight had come to an end some time previous. Nobody was seriously hurt, although Sam, Dick, and Aleck were suffering from several small wounds. Aleck had had his ear clipped by a bullet from Captain Villaire's pistol and was thankful that he had not been killed. Baxter, the picture of misery, was a prisoner.
It was not until the heat of the day had been spent that the expedition resumed its journey, after, an excellent meal made from the supplies Captain Villaire's party had left behind in their hurried flight. Some of the remaining supplies were done up into bundles by Cujo, to replace those which had been lost when the natives hired by Randolph Rover had deserted.
