CHAPTER XXIV
RETTO IS CAUGHT
Larry's slow walk was suddenly changed to a quick one as a plan of action was unfolded in his mind. He hurried to the elevated station and was soon on his way downtown to the office of the steamship line to which the Turtle belonged.
"Guess I'd better stop and telephone to Mr. Emberg about Retto skipping out again," thought the young reporter. "He can add it to the story. Then I can tell him of my present plan."
The city editor was soon informed of what Larry intended to do, and said he thought it was a good idea.
"But keep in touch with us, Larry," cautioned Mr. Emberg. "We want all the news we can get on this thing. There's a rumor that the Scorcher is going to spring something to-day on the Potter story."
"Probably something Sullivan has given out to offset the story he knows I'll have about him," commented Larry. "But I'll be on the lookout and let you know what happens."
Larry was soon at the steamship office, and inquired whether the Turtle had docked yet.
"She is making fast now," replied the clerk.
"May I go aboard her?"
