“Hardly!” laughed Gilmore. “Still, the cloudy night will help us in this way—we can travel above the clouds and not be observed from below. That will help some.”
“And I presume that we can crawl down the incline and get a glimpse of what’s going on below,” the sheriff suggested. “At least, I’m willing to try. The time to make the arrests is right now.”
“Perhaps we ought to start a short time before the Ann leaves the place,” Ben suggested, “because we’ll have quite a few miles farther to travel if we circle over to look after Jimmie and Kit.”
“That’s very true,” Havens replied. “Are you sure that you know where the summit which has been mentioned is?” he added.
“If it’s the summit directly east of the south headland where we saw the light, I know exactly where it is,” answered Ben. “There are two peaks there, and the one to the east and north is a trifle higher than the one referred to now.”
“That’s exactly correct,” announced Gilmore. “The two peaks separate a great chasm in the range which is known as Two Sisters canyon.”
Ben sprang to his feet and drew a bit of white paper from a pocket.
“Look here!” he shouted, “This paper was taken from the monkey-faced man who chased Jimmie up New York bay! The fellow smashed his machine and lay with a broken arm in Robinson’s barn, away back east, until Kit found a doctor to fix him up. This paper, enclosed in an envelope, fell from his pocket when his coat was removed.”
“Read it!” exclaimed Gilmore excitedly.
“It isn’t much to read,” Ben explained. “All it says is: ‘In Two Sisters Canyon’.”
