I guess he did think he heard one. Between
the news-paper fake and the speaking arc, I think we've got him
going. There he is."
It was an exciting ride, for the man ahead was almost reckless,
though he seemed to know instinctively still just when to put on
bursts of speed and when to slow down to escape being arrested for
speeding. We hung on, managing to keep something less than a
couple of blocks behind him. It was evident that he was making for
the ferry uptown across the river to New Jersey, and, taking
advantage of this knowledge, Garrick was able to drop back a
little, and approach the ferry by going down a different street so
that there was no hint yet that we were following him.
By judicious jockeying we succeeded in getting on the boat on the
opposite side from the car we were following, and in such a way
that we could get off as soon as he could. We managed to cross the
ferry, and, in the general scramble that attends the landing, to
negotiate the hill on the other side of the river without
attracting the attention of the man in the other car.
