ten o'clock in the evening
When they had gone nearly one hundred miles , Dave saw that the gasoline supply was running low . Luckily they were near a little town . They made a descent on a river , much to the delight and wonder of the whole place , bought a new supply , and resumed their flight . It was after ten o'clock in the evening when the welcome lights of Anseton came into view . Dave did not look around for some hiding place on the outskirts on this occasion . He startled a drowsy policeman by landing in the middle of some vacant lots on his beat . A brief explanation was made to the officer , and a man hired to watch the Drifter until they returned .
