I wish I had brought my electric flash out here with me, muttered Harry Hazelton uneasily.
I told you that you'd better do it, chuckled Tom Reade.
But how could I know that the night would be pitch dark? Harry demanded. I don't know this gulf weather yet, and fifteen minutes ago the stars were out in full force. Now look at them!
How can I look at them? demanded Tom, halting. My flashlight won't pierce the clouds.
Reade halted on his dark, dangerous footway, and Harry, just behind him, uttered a sigh of relief and halted also.
I never was in such a place as this before.
You've been in many a worse place, though, rejoined Tom. I never heard you make half as much fuss, either.
I think something must be wrong with my head, ventured Harry.
