"Don't let anyone come at us from
the rear."
McKenzie understood. He repeated Hal's words to Stubbs, shouting to
make himself heard.
"Can't anyone catch us from behind," Stubbs shouted back. "This car
will outrun anything in Germany."
McKenzie made no reply, but looked to his guns. He knew that it was
not pursuing automobiles that Hal was afraid of; but high-powered
motorcycles in use in Germany would probably be able to overtake the
car no matter what its speed.
So far, however, the road behind was clear.
CHAPTER X
TOWARD THE FRONTIER
Hal set his course by instinct and the glow of the disappearing moon,
and a few moments after their swift departure, it seemed, they were
beyond the city itself, headed straight for the Dutch frontier.
There was no pursuit, and Hal rightly judged the reason to be because
he had thrown pursuers off the track by several sharp turns before
leaving the city proper.
After an hour's riding, Hal made out specks ahead that he took to be
automobiles. He increased the speed of the car slightly to make sure
of this fact.
