"A lazy day or two in camp is what we all need," said Mr. Howland. "I
confess I am quite used up myself, and therefore I know you must all
feel much the same."
On the fourth day the scouting party appeared.
"There's war!" cried Knight as he touched land. He flung out a bundle of
papers for Mr. Howland.
"War!" The word came back in tones as varied as those who uttered it.
"War!" said Mr. Howland. "Between whom?"
"Every one, pretty much," said Knight. "Germany, France, Russia,
Austria, Servia, Belgium, and Britain."
"Britain!" said Barry and Duff at the same moment.
"Britain," answered Knight solemnly.
The men stood stock still, looking at each other with awed faces.
"War!" again said Barry. "With Germany!" He turned abruptly away from
the group and said, "I am going."
"Going! Going where?" said Mr. Howland.
"To the war," said Barry quietly.
"To the war! You? A clergyman?" said Mr. Howland.
"You? You going?" cried Paula. At the pain in her voice her father and
Brand turned and looked at her.
