All we know is that we found her
outside, unconscious, and brought her in here. She was wounded in the
shoulder and bleeding badly. We left her here and went out again."
"Why didn't you telephone for a doctor?"
"We did. We sent for Doctor Clarke."
"And here's a note from him on the table here," exclaimed Hugh. As he
spoke he handed the piece of paper to Mr. Cook.
"'Have taken patient to hospital in order to remove bullet,'" Mr. Cook
read aloud.
"Golly," exclaimed Hugh. "There's lots going on around here, isn't
there?"
"Too much," said Mr. Cook soberly. "I hope that explosion hurt no one."
"How about the fire?" asked Bob.
Sergeant Riley arrived just then and reported that the fire department
had the blaze under control and that it was only a question of a short
time before it would be entirely out.
"'Tis lucky it is no worse," he said seriously.
"And it's also lucky that my insurance will pay for it all," added Mr.
Cook.
"The thing that makes me mad is that the German divils who exploded the
bomb all got away," exclaimed the sergeant bitterly.
