CHAPTER VIII
THE CITY IN THE SKIES
"What has happened now?" cried Tad, running forward.
"Look, look!"
Tad and the guide turned at the same instant gazing off across the
Canyon. At first Tad saw nothing more than he had already seen.

"It's up there in the skies. Don't you see?" almost shouted Stacy, pointing.
"What is it? What is it?" shouted the others from the camp, coming up on a run.

"A—-a mirage!"
