“Yes.”
“I see only t’ree.”
“Brad, call Budthorne and his sister.”
Dunbar and Nadia appeared in a few minutes, and Dick explained his plan of escaping in disguise.
“Do you think it necessary?” asked Dunbar. “It seems to me that we are safe now, for the soldiers are guarding the hotel, and the mob is held in check.”
Then Dick was compelled to tell that the soldiers were guarding the hotel while waiting for the governing Pasha’s order to arrest the foreigners supposed to be concerned in the murder of Hafsa Pasha.
“It is Nadia we must get out of here, first,” said Dick. “You should be ready to take any risk to get her away.”
When Budthorne was satisfied that Merriwell was not mistaken he immediately urged his sister to permit herself to be disguised and to follow the advice of the clear-headed American lad.
Realizing her own frightful peril at last, the girl willingly consented.
“It will pe easy to disguise her,” declared Abraham.
