“If you’ll excuse us just a moment while we telephone we’ll be glad to tell you all about ourselves.”
“Pshaw, now, that’s too bad but we hain’t got no telephone.”
“We’ve got our own with us but thanks just the same,” the Captain said, then turning to Jack: “Better call your brother and let them know that our chase has ended.”
It took Jack several minutes to raise Bob, but finally he heard his voice.
“Did you get him?”
“Not exactly but in a way we did,” and he told about the chase and its tragic ending.
“Where are you now.”
“Two miles north of Jackman.”
“Good. You had better wait there for us. We’ll be out sometime late tomorrow afternoon I hope.”
“How did you come out?”
