"How can you?" fumed Brixton. "If you attempt to telephone from
here, that fellow Janeff will overhear and give a warning."
Regardless of whether Janeff was listening or not, Kennedy was
eagerly telephoning to the Woodrock central down in the village.
He was using the transmitter and receiver that were connected with
the iron tube which he had connected to the two regular house
lines.
"Have the ferry held at any cost," he was ordering. "Don't let the
next boat go out until Mr. Brixton gets there, under any
circumstances. Now put that to them straight, central. You know
Mr. Brixton has just a little bit of influence around here, and
somebody's head will drop if they let that boat go out before he
gets there."
"Humph!" ejaculated Brixton. "Much good that will do. Why, I
suppose our friend Janeff down in the storeroom knows it all now.
Come on, let's grab him."
Nevertheless there was no sound from the detectaphone which would
indicate that he had overheard and was spreading the alarm.
