Duff glanced at him, then looked away in silence, studying the horizon.
The world was to him and to them all a new world within the last few

His silence appeared to enrage Brand. He turned to Barry.
"Do you mean to tell me, sir, that you approve of this? Do you consider

stake in this exploration."
Barry stood looking at him in silence, as if trying to take in exactly
what he meant, then in a low and awed tone he said:
"It is war! War with Germany!"
"We cannot help that," cried Brand. "What difference can this war make
to you here a hundred miles from civilisation? These men are pledged to
us."
"Their first pledge is to their country, sir," said Barry gravely.
"But why should you, a Canadian, take part in this war?" argued Mr.
Howland. "Surely this is England's war."
Then Barry appeared to awake as from a dream.
