"All right!" Sandy said. "You've come to the right shop for fighting men. I can see those two fellows fading away at my approach!"
"Then you go in ahead," advised Tommy. "They seem to be well armed and may shoot, if you don't scare them into fits with one of your fierce glances! They're bold, bad men!"
"How do you know they haven't disappeared while you've been making signals?" asked Sandy. "They've had time enough to be five miles away!"
"We nailed 'em in with a couple of boulders!" grinned Tommy.
"You followed Pierre's example, did you?"
"Yes, we just blocked 'em in."
"Well, I think we'd better be getting them out, then!" Sandy urged. "And also be moving toward the cabin. George'll think we've got killed or something."
"Come on, then," Will exclaimed. "I'll show you where they are!"
The boy led the way down the slope for some distance and then paused at a boulder which blocked the entrance to what seemed to be a cavern of good size. They listened for a moment, but could hear no sounds coming from the interior.
"How're you going to get them out?" asked Thede.
