“They go to Piedra Del Cucuy!”
“The big boundary rock!” exclaimed Serbot. “That must have been Nara’s boat that took Brewster and the boy up the river. Now, they probably plan to meet Nara there.” He turned to Urubu. “Can you get us to Piedra Del Cucuy first?” he demanded.
“Easily,” assured Urubu, “if Luiz takes them the long way.”
“Maybe I should leave them,” put in Luiz, “and come with you. Then they will have no guide and will not find the way at all.”
“That would be all right,” decided Serbot, “but learn what else you can first. Did Brewster mention the name Nara?”
“Nao, Senhor.”
“Did he say anything about a map?”
“Nao, Senhor.”
“Find out what you can about both. If you can get word to us, good. If Brewster becomes suspicious, join us. But your big job is to delay their safari. Use whatever way seems best.”
That ended the parley, except for parting words from Urubu to Luiz, which greatly interested the listening boys.
