Tom Reade might indeed well be worried over the grewsome mysteries of this
night of evil deeds.




CHAPTER IV

SOME ONE CALLS AGAIN


Half an hour later Tom Reade leaped ashore at the little pier.

"My orders, Mr. Reade."

"They're brief and concise," Tom rejoined. "You're to cruise the length
of the wall, especially farther out from shore. Use your searchlight
freely. Keep the wall so guarded that no rascal can slip out there, either
over the wall or by boat, and do any damage. Mr. Evarts, the safety of
the wall until daylight is your whole charge."

"Very good, sir. But I'm sure that nothing more will happen to the wall."

"If anything does it will be up to you, Mr. Evarts," Tom assured him
grimly. "I'll hold you responsible."

"I won't let anything happen, Mr. Reade. And I hope you find Mr. Hazelton
all right."
