Five minutes later both lads were stretched out in their bunks fast asleep. They slept soundly, but not so soundly, however, that they did not wake at the desired minute.
At fifteen minutes to twelve, Hal opened his eyes and sat up. Chester yawned, stretched and sat up a minute later.
"Time to be moving," he said, glancing at his watch again.
"Right," Hal agreed. "I'll be inside this German uniform in three minutes by the clock."
He was; and Chester found himself suitably attired a moment later.
"Now for the plane," said the latter.
He led the way to where a two-seated biplane was being guarded by several soldiers.
"All right, men," said Hal, "you can turn in now. We'll take charge of this craft."
The soldiers saluted and took their departure.
"Let's be moving," said Chester. "Into the pilot's seat with you, Hal."
