Here they found Walton and two other men, close prisoners, each with a pitch plaster over his mouth.
There was a Spanish guard here, but he was readily overpowered, and one of the pitch plasters was placed over his mouth and he was tied to a big torpedo.
"Where is George Dross?" asked Oscar.
Nobody knew.
