“We expected to be on the way about three weeks,” said Monty, who seemed
to be the leader of the expedition. “We took along canned goods, bread
and cereals, coffee and tobacco.
“We had a phonograph and records, but it is broken. We had also arranged
to have light. We had some electric batteries in the false bottom which
connected with a bulb, but the bulb broke.
“There was also a stove and alcohol to run it. We have shoes, coats,
sweaters, hats, and, in fact, all our possessions.”
They even had a framed certificate on the wall--Montague’s diploma from
the “Boan Lake, Mich., College of Manopathy.”
“We didn’t have much sleep, add we got bumped around some,” said Fox,
“but, say, wasn’t it a peach of an adventure? My parents live in Wiegel,
N. Y., and Monty and Espe haven’t any.”
“The boys have violated a Federal interstate law,” said Mr. Burke, “but
I don’t know what action the road will take. We shall probably take
steps against the shipper and the man who was to receive them at the
other end. The fare was to be paid in Alameda.”
Officer Toussaint questioned the travelers, then turned them over to the
South Clark Street police. He could not say definitely what would be
done with them.
