How to get out of the place in which they found themselves was a serious problem. On all sides were the great rocks. The opening through which the light was streaming was fully fifty feet over their heads.
“I guess the only thing to do is to climb out,” was Andy’s comment. “Think we can do it?”
“We can try. But we don’t want to break our necks.”
“Let us go to the upper end of the opening,” suggested the acrobatic youth. “It looks better to me there.”
They walked to the spot Andy indicated, and then the acrobatic youth commenced to scale the rocks. Pepper followed, and thus they managed to climb about half the distance to the top. But at that point little short of sheer walls confronted them.
“I guess we are stumped,” said Andy, in a disappointed voice.
“Wonder if the other fellows are in this vicinity,” said Pepper. “If they are they could help us out somehow.”
“Might call, Pepper.”
Both of the boys called out at the top of their lungs, not once but several times. At first no answer came back.
“Try again,” said Pepper, and they did so. The echoes had just died away when they saw a form appear at the top of the opening.
