"Tell me de trute. We'll go for dat other box and divide. What do yer say?"
"Well, then, if you will have it, Dock Hing is right," Ed said. "I did see another box down there."
"I knowed it!" cried the fellow. "Gee! dis is great. Will you stand in wit me den and get dat box?"
"Yes, I will providing you will get me some clothes and help me to get out of this dreadful place," declared Ed.
"It's a bargain. Now where's de place?"
"That's the trouble," sighed Ed. "I was drugged when they took me there and I was drugged when they brought me away."
"Go ahead and tell me all you know. Mebbe I can dope it out."
Ed went over the few details he possessed.
The Chinaman continued to question him closely.
At last he declared that he felt pretty sure he could find the place.
