A few minutes later the prisoners were marched off by the sheriff and his men and Sam.

Dick and Tom, and the two girls, went ahead, to walk to where the biplane had been left among the trees.
The girls were a little frightened at first, but did their best not to show it.

Dora sat as close to Dick as she could, and Tom held Nellie in a seat in front of him.

Up into the air rushed the _Dartaway_ and both girls gave a little gasp.

Dick did not sail high, nor did he put on much speed, since there was no need.
"I see something in the road!" cried Tom, after they had been sailing along for several minutes.
