"I hope he doesn't try it again," said Earl gazing skyward.
"I guess he won't," said Jacques. "He seems to be flying away."
"Yes," exclaimed Leon. "I suppose he's gone to tell where we are and to send somebody after us."
"If I only had some wire," said Jacques examining the broken support.
"Well I'm going over to see if we can't find something in that house," said Earl firmly. "It's funny there doesn't seem to be anybody around."
"The house must be empty," said Leon. "That bomb and the fire would certainly have brought any one out if the place was occupied."
At that moment, however, the door of the house opened and two men in priest's robes appeared. They glanced once in the direction of the damaged monoplane and then rushed towards the burning barn.
"They can't do much to stop that fire now," remarked Leon grimly. "By the way the barn burns it must be full of hay."
"I'll go speak to them," exclaimed Earl. "They may be able to give us some wire."
"I'd better go, I guess," said Jacques. "As my French is better than yours I can probably talk to them easier than you can."
