IX THE CAPTURE

The capture of Princess Emma von der Tann and Barney Custer was a relatively1 simple matter. Open fields spread in all directions about the crossroads at which their car had come to its humiliating stop. There was no cover. To have sought escape by flight, thus in the open, would have been to expose the princess to the fire of the troopers. Barney could not do this. He preferred to surrender and trust to chance to open the way to escape later.
When Captain Ernst Maenck drove up he found the prisoners disarmed3, standing4 beside the now-useless car. He alighted from his own machine and with a low bow saluted5 the princess, an ironical7 smile upon his thin lips. Then he turned his attention toward her companion.
"Who are you?" he demanded gruffly. In the darkness he failed to recognize the American whom he thought dead in Austria.
"A servant of the house of Von der Tann," replied Barney.
"You deserve shooting," growled8 the officer, "but we'll leave that to Prince Peter and the king. When I tell them the trouble you have caused us—well, God help you."
The journey to Blentz was a short one. They had been much nearer that grim fortress9 than either had guessed. At the outskirts10 of the town they were challenged by Austrian sentries11, through which Maenck passed with ease after the sentinel had summoned an officer. From this man Maenck received the password that would carry them through the line of outposts between the town and the castle—"Slankamen." Barney, who overheard the word, made a mental note of it.
