Shirley and Mabel now found themselves able to converse without being overheard by the others.
“I saw Captain Von Blusen in the station as we climbed aboard,” said Shirley.
“Do you think he will help us?” asked Mabel.
“I don’t know, but some way I feel that he will. He seemed sincere enough when he spoke just before he left.”
“My goodness gracious! I hope something turns up soon!” exclaimed Mabel. “Our Dads must be worried to death.”
“Well, if Dick is on the trail, I am sure we shall be rescued,” declared Shirley.
“You have lots of confidence in Dick, haven’t you?” asked Mabel.
“Of course. Why shouldn’t I have?”
“Well, I hope we are rescued soon.”
“Some way, I believe we shall be,” declared Shirley.
