Bess cried out, as Nancy swerved her car to keep it from going into a ditch. “Please let’s stop and get out!” Nancy turned off the engine and the three girls hopped to the road. There was no further tremor of the earth. “There must have been blasting some place near here,” George remarked. The girls climbed into the convertible again and Nancy drove on. About half a mile farther along they found a crowd of people gathering. The center of the explosion seemed to have been at this point and everyone was trying to find out the cause. “Folks have no business using dynamite or bombs without permission,” said an irate man, “and I happen to know that not a soul applied for a license to do this.” Nancy and her friends joined the search in a long field for the person or persons responsible. As they hurried along Bess asked if Nancy had any theory regarding the explosion. “We’re not far from the end of one of those housing developments,” the young sleuth whispered. “This might have been a bomb scare to get people to move out.”
