"Didn't he have leave to visit town?" demanded Midshipman Page.
"Not that I've heard of," Dave Darrin answered quickly. "Nor do I see how he could have done so. You see, Wednesday he received some demerits, and with them went the loss of privileges for October."
"Whew!" whistled Page.
"What?" demanded Dave, his alarm increasing.
"Why, not long after supper I saw Danny heading toward the wall on the town side."
"I have been afraid of that for the last two or three minutes," exclaimed Dave Darrin, his uneasiness now showing very plainly. "Dan didn't say a word to me about going anywhere, but——-"
"You think, leave being impossible, Danny has Frenched it over the wall?" demanded Farley.
"That's just what I'm afraid of," returned Dave.
"But why——-"
"I don't know any reason."
