Of course some of
the things on the films were actually seen by the Germans, but others
were not; and I fancy those would be of value to Fritz. That's why they
took 'em."
"They couldn't have known we were here taking views," remarked Joe.
"Oh, yes they could!" declared Blake. "Germany's spy system is the best
in the world, and lots that goes on in America is known in Germany
before half of our own people hear about it. But we'll have to get there
before we can find out what is in that dugout, if it's there yet."
"Well, some part of it--maybe a hut or a brush heap--must be there, or
the sentry wouldn't have seen men about it," observed Joe. "And now we'd
better keep quiet. We're getting too close to talk much."
A little later they passed a sentry--not their friend--gave the proper
password, and then stood on the edge of No Man's Land.
What would be their fate as they crossed it and ventured on the other
side--the side held by the Germans?
"Come on!" whispered Blake softly, and, crouching down to avoid as much
as possible being detected in the starlight, the boys went cautiously
into the debatable territory.
CHAPTER XXII
CAPTURED
Not without a rather creepy feeling did the three boys start on their
mission, the outcome of which could only be guessed.
