Just then they heard Sid calling from afar.
“What’s he saying?” asked Tom.
“Listen,” advised Phil.
Again the cry was heard.
“Sounds as if he was calling for us to come to him,” ventured Tom.
“That’s it, but I’m not going. I’m just as well satisfied to look at the photograph after he’s developed it. I’m going to stay here,” came from Phil.
“Sure,” added Tom.
The cries continued, and then ceased. Tom and Phil waited nearly an hour for Sid to reappear, and when he did not come they started back for college, thinking he had gone another way. But poor Sid was in dire straits, as we shall soon see.
