Matt laughed.
"We'll settle this spook business in short order," said he.
Carl reached the car, and felt Matt's hand guiding him around the side.
"How you shtop der pubble, Matt?" faltered Carl.
"I didn't stop it; somebody else did that."
At that moment a muffled voice called:
"Get in de car, sahib! We go on to de daylight."
Carl gave a jump and grabbed hold of Matt.
"Who iss dot?" he fluttered.
"We'll find out before we're many minutes older," said Matt. "Get in, Carl."
