Bob followed and was led to a little clump of bushes that grew on the edge some distance from the hotel. Mr. Whitney pushed them aside and disclosed a little ledge a few feet down from the rim, which afforded a comfortable seat. The boys on the wharf did not wait to be called again but jumped upon the deck and rushed at the bags of fruit. “But, Jerry, how about the Labyrinth? We found it—don’t you want to have a hand in what happens next?”.

“Is there any one who wishes to land?” he shouted up toward the deck, in as manly a tone as he could assume. “I thought Holman was a cattleman,” said Bob. “This looks as if he were a farmer.” Ferdinand, whose mind was wholly occupied with wonder, could with difficulty await the return of night. Emilia and Julia were scarcely less impatient. They counted the minutes as they passed; and when the family retired to rest, hastened with palpitating hearts to the apartment of madame. They were soon after joined by Ferdinand, who brought with him tools for cutting away the lock of the door. They paused a few moments in the chamber in fearful silence, but no sound disturbed the stillness of night. Ferdinand applied a knife to the door, and in a short time separated the lock. The door yielded, and disclosed a large and gloomy gallery. He took a light. Emilia and Julia, fearful of remaining in the chamber, resolved to accompany him, and each seizing an arm of madame, they followed in silence. The gallery was in many parts falling to decay, the ceiling was broke, and the window-shutters shattered, which, together with the dampness of the walls, gave the place an air of wild desolation. “All right,” was all he said. “But let’s find the mouth of the tunnel.
