Then came a voice from right before them.
"Surrender!" it cried. "Surrender or you are dead men!"
CHAPTER VI.
THE OLD CASTLE.
Lieutenant Anderson raised a hand.
"We surrender," he said quietly.
The officer approached, a revolver held ready for instant use.
"Dismount!" he ordered shortly.
The four companions slid to the ground. A squad of soldiers surrounded them.
"Search them for arms," was the next command, and they were relieved of their weapons.
