"Hi, Mark! Where are you?" he called, in some alarm.
"Here," was the answer, and the voice came from Jack's own apartment.
"Well, you're in the wrong bunk."
"Am I? Well, I must have made another mistake. My head can't be right,"

apartment.

closed behind the bandaged figure.
"There's something wrong," said Jack in a low voice. "How strange Mark
acts! I wonder what can be the matter?"
