pproach within a certain distance the Professor, Harry
and Tom will remain at the spot selected, and you, Ralph and George must
follow me. In order that you may know the plans fully, I will state
that together we three will turn to the left and make a detour through
the woods around their position, and I will leave Ralph at one point in
the circle, and with George follow around to a point exactly opposite
this place, when he will go on around the camp toward your direction.

"When you think we have about reached the positions indicated, Harry
will take up his position to the left of the Professor, in the circle,
and Tom to the right, so that our respective positions will be in this
order: First, the Professor, then in order to the left, Harry, Ralph,
myself, George and Tom.

"Each has two guns, and I have also the pistol. The signal will be the
firing of the pistol. The moment you hear that all must rush forward in
the direction of the camp, and I will endeavor to reach the open so as
to attract them first and demand their surrender. After you have shown
yourselves, do not advance until I give the word, but have your guns
ready in case they attempt to make any resistance."

The party stole forward carefully, and the Professor with the two boys
waited a sufficient time to be sure they had selected the proper places
in the circle, when Ralph appeared, and held up his hand in token of
silence, and all he said was: "Back to the wagon as quickly as
possible."

The "Capture and Pursuit" will relate some of the most thrilling scenes
in the entire history of Wonder Island, following the adventure here
related.
