Butler nodded.
“What you see?”
“A dead campfire.”
“Huh. Heap much. What else you see?”
“I see a few things, Anvik. Of course I can’t see as much as you do, but I should say this camp was not more than a day old. This fire was blazing yesterday. The ashes aren’t the right color for a very old one.”
“One sun,” grunted the Indian.
“It looks to me as if there had been two men here. Am I right?”
“Heap good. Two men. Leave, big hurry. Him go that way. Stay here two hour. Wonder why big hurry?”
