CHAPTER XXVII. HEADED FOR HOME--CONCLUSION.
"Just hold on there, George; you're under arrest!" Bumpus called out; andif his voice happened to be a trifle shaky, the fact did not seem tointerfere with the clever way in which he swung that gun up, so as tocover the tramp.
Smithy awoke, and was stunned at what he saw. He sat there, turning hishead, to stare first at the figure clothed in the blue army coat, andthen at his comrade, seen just topping the bushes, and looking so like hemeant business. Smithy would long remember that fine sight.
The hobo knew he was caught. Guns had a very persuasive way with George,and he had learned long ago to fight shy of all farmhouses where it wasknown the owner possessed firearms.
"Don't shoot, young feller!" he immediately bellowed, with astonishingenergy; "I ain't goin' ter try an' git away. Say, I was jest a-wantin'ter surrender, so's ter git off'n this island. I ain't never yet starvedter death, an' I don't wanter try the same. I'm a prisoner o' war, an' yewouldn't be so mean's as ter pepper a harmless man, I hopes, Boy?"
Bumpus proceeded to advance, all the while keeping that menacing gunleveled. He had had a previous experience in capturing a supposed-to-bedesperate rascal, and felt that he must be cautious in how he handledmatters.
"Smithy, is there a piece of that rope handy?" he demanded; and the otherscout after a hasty look around made an affirmative reply.
"There certainly is, Bumpus, and it seems to be a good strong piece,too," he went on to say. "Please tell me what you want me to do with it.I know how to tie all sorts of perfectly splendid knots; if only thewretch won't seize hold of me, and make use of me as a shield. They'reall so very treacherous, you know, Bumpus."
"Sure, I understand that, Smithy," he was told, "but I'm up to a trick ortwo on my own hook. Here, you George, just drop down on your marrowbones--that means get on your knees."
The tramp looked anything but happy, but when he hesitated Bumpus swunghis gun up again, and it could be easily seen that he was ready forbusiness. So George immediately dropped down on his knees, with his handsstill raised in a really grotesque fashion above his head.
"Now, I don't mean to ask you to say your prayers, because I reckon younever learned any," Bumpus proceeded briskly; "but continue the forwardmovement. In other words, fall flat on your face, and stretch out there,with your nose rooting in the ground. No back talk now, but do whatyou're told!"
George did so. He evidently knew better than to refuse so modest arequest, especially while threatened with a load of shot at closequarters.
Then Bumpus advanced close up.
"Smithy," he said, with a grand air, as became a conqueror, "use yourrope, and tie his wrists behind his back. If there's enough left, give aturn around his ankles, will you, please? And whatever you do, let it bethorough. That's what scouts are taught to always be, you know."
Under the immediate eye of Bumpus the tramp was triced up, after whichthe two boys dragged him behind a screen of bushes. Bumpus was inconstant apprehension lest the second hobo appear on the scene, andmanaged to keep his eyes turned this way and that as the minutes passedon.
It seemed as though the morning must be wearing away when finally thebarking of a fox, so excellently done that it would have deceived an oldhunter, announced the near presence of Allan and Thad, and likely theothers besides.
When they entered the camp they seemed to be laboring under someexcitement; but Bumpus had warned Smithy not to give their secret awayimmediately.
"Well, what luck did you have, boys?" asked the stout lad, as one andthen another of the six filed past him to the vicinity of the fire.
"We cornered one of the precious pair down at the extreme end of theisland," acknowledged Giraffe; "but George gave us the slip somehow. Wefigured he must have hid in a hemlock top, and after we passed come on uphere; and since we ran across his trail not far from camp some of usbegan to get cold feet for fear that you two might have been surprisedand taken prisoner. We're all as glad as hops to see that was a falsealarm, Bumpus and Smithy."
"But have you seen anything of George?" asked Thad, who believed therewas something decidedly odd about the way the features of the two guardswere working, as though they might be doing everything in their power toconceal some secret.
Of course Bumpus had by that time reached the limit of his endurance,especially since Smithy gave a big yell, unable to hold in any further.
"Go and take a look back of the bushes there; that's the answer, boys!"Bumpus remarked, trying to look indifferent, though really trembling allover with the joyful excitement.
There was an immediate rush in the quarter pointed out; and then shoutsthat might have easily been heard at the lower end of the island.
"Well, what d'ye think of that, now?" Giraffe was saying, in his usualboisterous manner; "if they haven't gone and done it, capturing thelong-lost George as nice as you please! Yes, and there's that oldengineer's army coat, too; mebbe the judge won't be glad to get thatkeepsake back again!"
Thad was especially well pleased. Of course this was partly on account ofhaving finally accomplished the task that had been set before him,because he always felt satisfied when he could look back to duty welldone.
Besides, he fairly gloried in the fact that the two tenderfeet of thepatrol, as they might still be called, had succeeded in coveringthemselves with honor in having captured the second desperate rascal.
The first thing Thad did was to stand the tramp up, remove his bonds, andmake him strip off the blue coat that had once kept the judge's son warmwhile serving Uncle Sam during our late war with Spain, after which hesaw to it that George had his hands bound again.
Two of the boys were dispatched along the shore, where the walking wasbetter, to bring back the other prisoner. To another pair was given thetask of setting up a pole on an elevated part of the island, bearing awhite flag, which, if seen by anyone on the distant shore, might be themeans of bringing a boat to the rescue of the marooned ones.
Meanwhile Thad investigated, and found that apparently George had had nosuspicion that there was anything sewed inside the red lining of the armycoat given to him by Mrs. Whittaker. Feeling carefully along the sides,Thad discovered that at a certain place there seemed to be somethingnestled; and when he held the garment close to his ear he was able tocatch a slight rustling sound when he bent it back and forth; so heconcluded the paper must be safe.
There was enough of the bacon and other things left, it happened, to givethem a scanty feed at noon; and they had high hopes that before anothernight came the conditions would be vastly improved.
This confidence proved well founded, for along about three o'clockGiraffe, who had set himself to be the lookout, came running into campwith the cheering news that two boats were coming from the shore, andthat the period of their captivity on the island had reached its end.
It turned out that those rowing the boats were men who had been sent outby the authorities to look for any families in distress because of theflood in the Susquehanna region. There was ample room aboard for theeight scouts, as well as their two prisoners; and in due time they landedon the bank, overjoyed to know that not only were they free once more,but that their principal object in making this long hike had beenhandsomely accomplished.
Giraffe and Bumpus shook hands solemnly when the fact was mentioned thatthey had been invited to stay over at a neighboring farmhouse, where theycould obtain a bountiful supper and sleep in the barn. That meant supremehappiness to the lengthy and the stout members of the patrol, the "fatand the lean of it," as Giraffe himself would say.
Thad was careful to see that the two tramps were handed over to theauthorities. All the evidence needed to convict them of the robbery ofthe Bailey home was discovered on their persons, for they had beentempted to take several little valuable bits of jewelry that fastened thecrime on them when found in their pockets.
He felt that they were well rid of the rascals when the two men were ledaway; nor
did any of the scouts ever set eyes on Wandering George or hiscompanion again.
Since all of the patrol were exceedingly tired, it can safely be assumedthat they slept soundly on that night. The hay was sweet; they had beengiven a bountiful supper, such as only farmers' wives know how to spreadbefore guests; and Bumpus had done himself proud when called upon toentertain their host's family with a number of favorite songs, as well asby the dexterous use of his bugle, upon which he dearly loved to play,and with considerable effect.
When another day dawned the boys were given a breakfast they would notsoon forget, nor would the kind lady accept a single cent in payment forthe same, declaring that she and her family had enjoyed having the scoutsremain a night with them, and that they had learned a thousand thingsabout their work such as they had long been wishing to know.
The homeward march was begun; and as time was passing rapidly now, Thadthought it only right they should take advantage of the fact that atrolley covered a considerable number of miles between Cranford and thepoint they were at. None of them objected to this means of lighteningtheir labors, for several among the scouts had complained that their feetwere beginning to swell and pain them.
By clever work they managed to arrive home that same evening, pleasedwith their last adventure. Its successful termination would long be asource of gratification to those who had participated in the chase afterWandering George and the blue army overcoat that the judge wanted to keep"in memory of his son."
Thad could not wait for morning to come, but immediately after supper hetook the coat, once more brushed clean, over his arm, and set out for thehome of old Judge Whittaker. When he was ushered into the library, andthe eminent jurist saw what he was carrying, he expressed himself pleasedin no uncertain tones.
As the good lady of the house happened to be out at a neighbor's justthen, the judge did not hesitate to rip open the lining of the coat, andthen triumphantly extract a thin paper, which he seemed to prizeexceedingly.
He declared that he was under great obligations to the scouts, andexpressed an earnest desire to do something grand for the troop; but ofcourse Thad was compelled to decline, assuring him they had enjoyed thelittle adventure greatly, and that at any rate the rules of theirorganization would prevent them from accepting any pay for such aservice.
Thad and his friends were looking forward to another outing in the woodsduring the coming summer, and expected to have a delightful time. None ofthem, however, so much as suspected what a strange turn of fortune wouldalter their plans, and allow some of the scouts to visit foreign landswhile the greatest war in the history of the whole world was breakingout. What wonderful things happened to them abroad will be found recordedin the next volume of this series, published under the title of "The BoyScouts on the Rhine; or Under Fire with the Allies."
