Explore "Danny the Detective" by Vera C. Barclay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Meanwhile, Captain Miles and his party searched the passage in vain. The spy had vanished. Realising what might have happened, the officer sent back a party to go as quickly as possible to the mill, whilst he continued to search the vault. And so the party bound for the mill met the prisoner and his guards on the road, and returning, reported this to Captain Miles.
Packing the four Germans and their guards into a motor lorry, and putting the young officer in charge, he sent them to the town and turned his attention to the necessary investigations.
