"Wait a moment, please," said Helen. "Isn't that the house in which we were captured?"
She pointed in the darkness. The others peered intently in the direction indicated. A dark shadow loomed up some distance ahead.
"I believe it is," said Hal. "Why?"
"Then, if you want to get into Greece, the quickest way is to go due south."
"But the question is, which is south?" said Hal.
"Oh, I can tell you that. You just follow the road that leads by the house."
"So be it," said Hal. "March."
With Chester and Helen he led the way.
They were forced to go very slowly for they were still in the Bulgarian lines, and all knew they would be for a considerable distance. How far the Bulgarians had extended their lines following the retreat of the Serbians they had of course no means of knowing, but Hal felt sure it would be a good ways.
Tents dotted their line of march for an hour as they walked along keeping parallel with the road, but some distance from the highway.
