[pg 205] The hospital man showed his face at the grating and looked at Truax keenly.
“Wow! The sawbones officer has got to look at this chap!”
Sam Truax sprang to his feet, but his legs wobbled. He felt his heart-beats racing and his face flushing.
“I felt all right a little while ago, but I certainly feel queer now,” he muttered.
Doctor McCrea soon hurried below.
“Sentry, unlock the door! Let me in there!”
Doctor McCrea made a brief examination.
“How long have you been feeling ill?”
“N-not long,” faltered Truax.
“Hospital man!” called Doctor McCrea.
