And they were directly in
its path!
CHAPTER II
THE FALLING TREE
For a moment the Outdoor Girls sat fascinated, paralyzed, without the
power to move a muscle. Then suddenly Grace seemed galvanized to
action, She leaned toward Mollie, grasping the steering wheel of the
motionless car frantically.
"For heaven's sake, Mollie, get out of the way! Start the car!" she
screamed.
"I can't!" Mollie answered, tight-lipped. "Something's wrong. The
motor's dead."
But with Grace's scream, Betty had come to her senses and had
scrambled out of the car, dragging the still paralyzed Amy after her.
"Grace, get out! Mollie, are you crazy?" she shouted wildly. "You'll
be killed----"
Automatically Grace started to clamber to the road, but Mollie still
fussed with brakes and levers, her lips in a tight line, her eyes
blazing.
"Something's wrong-- but I'll get her started," she muttered over and
over to herself while Betty raged at her from the road.
"Get out! get out!" fumed the Little Captain, "Jump, or I'll come
after you and we'll both be killed.
