"That's what's happened. The cabin is full of 'em, and it is your life and mine in the balance. If we can get away in this fog they'll never find us, but we've got to hold them here until the boats are ready." "Is it Sanchez ?" "It was Sanchez, but I killed him. That is where we've still got them huskies, without a leader." "But they've got arms." "Only hand weapons," broke in Carter contemptuously. |
