"That's right here," rejoined Lawrence. "We can see Megget and the others when they arrive by being here."
"True enough, but how about the guard they send up?"
"There won't be any to-night, don't worry about that. They'll be too busy celebrating your supposed loss in the fire last night."

Huddled together, the boys sat where they could watch the trail.

Larry cried out:
"Here they come!"
Eager with excitement, the others crowded forward to catch a glimpse of the men who had caused them so much trouble.
"Keep down!" snapped Lawrence. "Vasquez has an eye like a hawk."
