“Do you think I’m creeping?” Cora called back. “I can’t talk to the car and encourage it as I might a horse. You’ll notice that the boys aren’t leaving us behind.”
As a matter of fact, the cars were nearly touching.
“Keep up your pluck, girls!” Jack called back. “If this map is all right, we’ll make the camp in five minutes more.”
“If we didn’t have an old tub in front of us, we’d make it in four,” sang out Cora.
“If the rain will only hold off,” murmured Belle.
But the prospect grew ever more threatening. The peals of thunder were redoubled and the lightning played so vividly across the sky that Bess covered her face with her hands.
“Suppose the car should be struck!” she exclaimed.
“If it were, we’d probably never know it,” was all the comfort her sister could give.
Just then there was an appalling roar, and a great tree, split from top to bottom, swayed for a moment and then fell with a deafening crash right across the road, about a hundred feet in front of the leading car.
