“Where?” exclaimed Mrs. Sebastian.
“Mazatlan. We have just time to catch the night train. Hurry!”
The two women turned and dashed from the room and Hernandez turned to the girls.
“Put on your hats,” he said gruffly.
The girls obeyed without a word, for they could see the man was very angry.
Then he turned to Captain Von Blusen.
“As for you,” he said, “you keep out of my sight in the future. Approach me again and I will have you shot.”
“But—” began the captain.
Hernandez produced a revolver which he levelled at the German.
“I guess I had better do it now,” he declared. “It will save trouble.”
