Chapter XXI
A CAMP AND A PRISONER Slowly the minutes went by. The wind continued to blow strongly and the rain came down as hard as ever. All of the boys were capless, and the cold chilled them to the very marrow of their bones. "I'd give all I am worth to be in camp near a big fire," came from Giant, presently. "I can't sit up mu-much lon-longer," put in Whopper, weakly.
