"We are getting down on the level now," the guide informed them.
Halting suddenly, Nance pointed to an overhanging ledge about half a mile down the valley. The boys gazed, shading their eyes, wondering what Nance saw.
"I see," said Tad.
"Then you see more than do the rest of us," answered Ned. "What is it?"
"It looks to me like a man."
"You have good eyes," nodded Nance.
"Is it a—-a man?" questioned Chunky.
"Yes, it is an Indian lookout. He sees us and is trying to decide whether or not our mission is a friendly one."
"Indians! Wow!" howled Chunky.
"We are in their home now, so behave yourself," warned Nance.
