"Then you agree with me that we should tackle the bandits alone, do you?" asked Donald.
"It is the only safe way."
"All right, then," exclaimed Billie. "Let's be off. If we use a little strategy, I'm sure we shall succeed."
He turned to mount the horse, which a minute before had been standing a few feet away, but it was gone.
"Where's my horse?" he cried.
The others turned in surprise.
"It certainly was here a minute ago," declared Adrian.
"Then it can't be very far away," insisted Donald.
"It's so far I can't see it," replied Billie.
"There it goes!" shouted Pedro, who had jumped his mount across the track as soon as he heard Billie's cry.
