“Andy Rush!” cried Ned.
“Wow!” yelled Andy, getting his second wind. “Come on, fellows—’sawful—dam’s busted—river’s got loose—houses being washed away—people in the water—dogs—chickens—boats—fearful—terrible excitement—come on—don’t lose a minute—the whole place may go—big flood—whoop—come on—don’t wait—wow!”
For a moment the three chums gazed at the excited small lad. Then Jerry asked, sternly:
“Andy, is this true, or are you joking?”
“True? Of course it’s true! Come on—rescue—big damage—dam’s busted—save lives!”
“Fellows, I guess we’d better go!” cried Jerry, and, followed by his chums, and the professor, he rushed from the room, Andy coming after, and giving vent to excited whoops at every other breath.
