This would give the two a chance to penetrate to the far end of the apartment, without arousing the suspicions of the hidden man, who, doubtless, would be listening to the conversation. "And as soon as we get sight of him, you and I will jump right at him, Mr. Damon," said Tom. "Jump before he has a chance to use his gun. Mr. Jenks and Mr. Parker will be waiting outside the room, to catch him if he gets away from us. I'll have some ropes ready, and we'll tie him up, and  well, we'll decide later what to do with him." "All right.

telling him that we will heed his warning. Now to capture the stowaway!” “And while we're about it, give him a good scare when we do get him,” suggested Mr. Jenks. “How?” asked Tom. “Threaten to drop him overboard. Perhaps that will make him tell how he happened to get in our ship, and what are the plans of the gang of diamond makers. We may get valuable information that way.” “I don't believe you can scare such fellows much,” was Tom's opinion, but it was agreed to try. “How are you going to capture him?” asked Mr. Parker. “If he has a gun it won't be any too easy to go in the storeroom, and drag him out.” “We'll have to use a little strategy,” decided Tom, and then they discussed several plans. The one finally adopted was that Tom and Mr. Damon should enter the storeroom, casually, as if in search of food to cook for supper. They would discuss various dishes, and Mr. Damon was to express a preference for something in the food line, the box containing which, was well back in the room.
