“Which place do you think he will make for?”
“Well—I can only tell you what I think.”
“Go ahead.”
“What McGlory will do will be to head for Spencer and take off the old man.”
“And then run over to Burnt Cove?”
“That's what I think. Burnt Cove is in Canada, you see.”
“Yes, I see it is. The boundary line runs down west and south of Manitoulin Island.”
“If you want to stop him very bad, you'd better have Captain Sullivan go over to the boundary, close to Outer Duck Island, and then head for Spencer. In that way we shall be approaching Spencer along the line that McGlory must take if he tries to make the cove; and if it is not night, we ought to stand a good chance of sighting him. I figure that we ought to get up there just about in time.”
“Of course, he doesn't know that we're so hot on his trail,” mused Beveridge.
Dick sniffed again. “If you call this hot.”
