"Where?" asked the agent, eagerly.
"Runnin' along the bank."
"In what direction?"
Clip pointed up the creek.
"Why didn't you tell me that before?"
"You didn't ask me, Massa Wolverton."
"Take me ashore quick!" said Wolverton to Otto.
"Hurry up, Massa Wolverton, and mebbe you'll catch him!"
Wolverton was already in the boat, and Otto was rowing him to the shore.
Clip went to the barrel and released the prisoner.
