CHAPTER I
THE colored boy gazed at Don and me with a look of terror.
“But I tell you I seen it!” he insisted. “An’ it’s down there now. A ghost! It’s all white an’ shinin’!”
“Nonsense, Willie,” Don turned to me. “I say, Bob, what do you make of this?”
“I seen it, I tell you,” the boy broke in. “It ain’t a mile from here if you want to go look at it.”
Don gripped the colored boy whose coffee complexion had taken on a greenish cast with his terror.
I fired at an oncoming white figure.
“Stop saying that, Willie. That’s absolute rot. There’s no such thing as a ghost.”
