"If Garwood remains at large much longer he'll fix up a bang-bang that will carry him clean into the next world!" While those having the injured man in charge waited they explored the boathouse.

Of the explosive materials not a particle was found.

Evidently it had all gone up in smoke.

But, in a far corner, the searchers discovered a package of gauze, and another of salve, with which poor Garwood had evidently attended to the burns resulting from former explosions.

Later it was found that both packages came from a drugstore some twenty miles away, where the poor fellow had also bought his explosive materials from time to time.
