Chapter XII
A DISTURBING LOSS Garrison, holding the limp, helpless form in his arms, gazed quickly about the room and saw the couch. He crossed the floor and placed her full length upon its cushions. She lay there so white and motionless that he was frightened. He felt it impossible to call the Robinsons. He needed water, quickly.
