Two men tried to stop him, thinking he must have caused the smash and was running away to escape arrest.
“Hold on!” they shouted, grabbing at him.
“Hands off!” he flung back, dodging them.
A policeman appeared at the opposite corner and yelled across the street for the running lad to stop.
Frank did not heed the command.
Seeing the driver struggling with his frantic horses the officer hastened to his aid, letting Frank go.
Round to the left the cab turned at the next corner.
Frank saw a head thrust out of a window, and he knew one of the occupants was looking back.
Round the corner darted Frank.
Out upon a long pier the cab was being driven.
