“Yes. One week from to-day Colon will no longer be safe!”
“It is my belief you are out of your head, young man,” declared Mr. Willing grimly.
Bristow shook his head positively.
“I am telling you facts,” he declared. “I can’t say any more.”
“And why won’t we be safe aboard the Yucatan?” demanded Shirley. “The ship isn’t going to sink, is it?”
“No, but—”
“No European country will dare to molest it,” declared Dick, “and I can see no reason why there should be danger at Colon.”
“I was afraid I couldn’t convince you,” said Bristow. “However, I have done my best. Good night.”
He bowed and left the room.
