CHAPTER X.
THE ESCAPE FROM THE HOLD.
"Sam, is that you?"
"Yes."
"We are trapped!"
"It looks like it or rather feels like it I can't see a thing."
"Nor I. Did you find out anything about Dick?"
"No."
A groan came from the opposite end of the hold.
"Here I am. How in the world did you get here?"
"Dick, after all!" ejaculated Tom, and there was a slight trace of joy in his tone. "Are you O. K., old man?"
"Hardly. They dosed me with drugs until my mind is topsy-turvy."
"I'm glad you are alive," came from Sam. "Where are you?"
"Here, lying on a couple of boxes. Look out how you move about, or you may hurt yourselves."
