"How about this attack on us yesterday?" asked Jack.
"As you suspected, it was for the purpose of capturing me, too," said
Mr. Temple. "And Rollins had let the bandits know when I would arrive.
Remedios was his go-between."
"Well," said Jack, "there's only one thing more."
"What is that?" asked Frank.
"Why, I'd like to know whom Rollins radioed to last night."
"I found that out, too," said Mr. Temple. "He was talking to the
Calomares ranch in Old Mexico, which has a very powerful station,
according to Rollins. He says the German, Von Arnheim, told him that
there are similar powerful radio stations scattered throughout Mexico
and South America, all built by German money for the use of its spy
system. And he said this German told him the most powerful station of
all was on an island in the Caribbean, and that it was so powerful it
could communicate with Nauen, Germany."
It was apparent that Mr. Temple had concluded his explanation, and Bob
and Frank began to ply him with questions. Jack, however, stood
silent, his face averted. Mr. Temple presently broke from the others
and laying a hand on Jack's shoulder whirled him about.
"Father?" asked he, in a kindly tone.
"Yes, sir."
"Well, Jack, I've got the beginnings of a plan in mind.
