"And here we are!" spoke up the stoop-shouldered stranger, coming out of a. jungle of bushes. "I'm glad to see that you're on time. And to-day I hope you've more sand than you had that night."
"Forget it," said Mock shortly.
"You're ready now?"
"To do anything," Mock agreed.
"Sure! He's all right!" Private Wilhelm nodded. "I've attended to that."
"Come here, Carl!" called the stoop-shouldered one, in a low voice.
From another clump of bushes came another man, bearded and bespectacled. If there's anything in a face, Carl was unmistakably German.
"Carl will tell you what to do," said time stoop-shouldered one.
"You men are in two different companies?" asked the man behind spectacles.
"I'm in B company," nodded Mock. "Wilhelm is in E company."
