“I don’t know about that,” argued Sam. “You drove them away from the temple, and the chances are that they will return to the forest and will remain there until they get the courage to make another attack on us.”
“It won’t take long to go and find out whether they are in the forest or not!” Carl declared.
“Perhaps,” Sam suggested, “we’d better wait here for the others to come up. They ought to be here to-night.”
“If it’s a sure thing that we can let them know where we are,” Carl agreed, “that might be all right.”
“What’s the matter with the red and blue lights?” asked Jimmie.
“By the way,” Carl inquired looking about the place, “where is Pedro?”
“He took to his heels when the savages made the rush.”
“Which way did he go?” asked Jimmie.
“I think he went in the direction of that little menagerie you boys found last night!” replied Sam.
“Then I’ll bet he knows where the tunnel is!” Carl shouted, dashing away. “I’ll bet he’s lit out for the purpose of bringing a lot of his conspirators in here to do us up!”
