“That,” exclaimed the Captain, “is all I need to know!”
Racing for his coat and hat, he led the way to his car. A moment more and they were speeding back to the city.
“Johnny,” said the Captain, “do you believe that whisper came all the way from the city?”
“I am sure of it.”
“A broadcast?”
“No, not a broadcast. I feel sure no one in the world, save us, heard it.”
“Wonderful, if true—a revolutionary idea!” the Captain exclaimed.
“I think,” said Johnny, “that I could name the very spot from which that message came—the top of the Sky Ride tower.” He told the Captain of his discovery regarding the whisper he had heard that morning.
“We’ll have to look into that,” was the Captain’s only comment.
That very night Johnny attempted to “look into that,” with such results as you shall see.
