“That’s wrong,” said Burchmore, very much excited.

“But what do they mean by going this way?” added Churchill.

“I don’t know, and I don’t care; I only know it is the wrong way. Hallo!” he shouted to Sanford, and stopped his pony, which compelled three others behind him to stop also.

“What’s the matter?” called Sanford.

“You are going the wrong way,” replied the cashier.

“No, this is right; come along;” and the coxswain started his team again.

But Burchmore refused to follow him, and continued to block the way against those behind him.

“Out of the way!” cried Clyde, who was in the rear.

“This is not the right way to Kongsberg,” said Burchmore.

“Out of the way, or I’ll smash you!” added the imperious Briton.
