To make a race of it was the only safe way. So they acted at once.
They did not even spend the night at the Broadway Central Hotel. Instead they took a car for the Grand Central Depot.
Here they bought tickets for Boston.
The plan was cleverly laid.
It was arranged to go on to Boston by the night express. When they arrived in the Hub city they would at once slip onto the next train back.
This would confuse the pursuers and place them on the defensive.
The Shore Line Express took them out of New York.
The Bradys kept a sharp outlook and were certain that none of the gang were on the train.
Consequently they felt elated.
“On my word!” exclaimed Harry. “I believe we have slipped them.”
