Chapter XV
“What is it, boys?” asked Uncle Dick, his voice trembling with excitement and alarm. “Anybody hurt?” “No, sir,” replied Eugene, drawing a long breath of relief; “but if you look about a little you’ll find some _thing_ out there that’s hurt. We haven’t fired thirty-nine shots for nothing, I tell you.” “What was it, anyhow?” asked George.
