Excerpt: ... didn't see Sim around the mess when we left, wonder where he went?" Stan whispered. "You worry too much about him," O'Malley answered. "I bet he's snoopin' around gettin' set to get us away." Stan stretched out on his bunk. They waited for Sim to show up, but he did not come to the room. At eight o'clock Stan began to squirm.
