Carter. Usually about twelve.
Gordon. Twelve. The very hour!
Carter. He may be late.
Gordon. We'll have to chance it.
Carter. How will we know when he comes up the drain?
Gordon. I told your uncle to have him dig until he came to the brick work, then we can tear up the floor and go down to him.
Carter. How is it you were captured and not Uncle Phil. I don't understand?
Gordon. Some carelessness of mine. But that don't matter. We're going to escape.
Carter. But it does matter. Tell me how it was. You said you got word to him at one time and then you said he did not know of your arrest. Now tell me straight, how were you captured.
Gordon (on his guard). Why I was scouting around for information—They took me—That was all—I went too near the camp—the moon was bright—The sentry saw me—I was not careful.
