"Who else? Well, Fritz came with such a rush he didn't look for me.
There was a lot of him passed. I scrunched down inside this crater the
best I knew how and directly I knew I must let our folks know. Then's
when I sent up my signals -- in code, of course."

\"That's so, Buck. I saw 'em and read 'em."

Buck was grinning to himself.

"You?" Bangs looked his astonishment. "Well, if we warned our folks in
time, and I guess I did by the sounds, and then caught hold of you, it
was a lucky venture."

"You caught me all right. But how are we going to get away? Say your
machine is busted?"

"How'd ye know?"

"Well, by the way it came down and struck. I have no tools with me,
and I had to crawl in here in a hurry."

"Come on," ordered the Sergeant in his official tone. "We've got no
time to lose. I've got tools or rather Milt had."

"What's the matter with Finzer?" Buck was keenly concerned for he and
Milt had been quite chummy.

Blaine told him briefly all that had happened.
