“Our first big game!” exclaimed Jack as he ran forward.
“My, but he’s big!” commented Nat. “How we going back to camp?”
“Put him on the horses, of course,” said Jack. “We can do it. We’ll lead them up here.”
“Sure,” responded Nat. “I forgot we had ’em. We’ll go back and lead ’em in.”
They started back, full of confidence in their ability to find where they had tethered the animals. They walked on for half an hour, and then Jack said:
“Say, it seems to me we’re a long time finding those horses.”
“That’s right,” agreed Nat. “We didn’t take so long coming in here. I guess we came the wrong way.”
“I’m sure of it,” declared Jack. “We should have gone to the right.”
“No, the left.”
They discussed it for some time, and finally decided to try the right. They went on for some distance, but no horses were seen.
