“Here comes the train!” exclaimed Bob, as a whistle sounded in the distance. “Get your baggage together!”
There was a confused scramble, as there always is at the last minute, no matter what preliminary preparations have been made. The boys and the professor gathered up their grips, for their trunks had been checked. The train rolled into the station. They scrambled up the steps, and got seats together. Just as the train was pulling out of the depot the boys heard some one yelling at them.
“Hold on! Wait a minute! Stop! I want to speak to you!” was the cry.

By this time Andy was under the windows on the side of the car where the boys sat. The train had not yet gathered much headway.
