“What’ll we do with Gilroy?” asked Frank.
“Aw, let him sleep,” advised Harry.
“Sure, let him sleep,” Jack put in. “He’ll be all right ’till we get back. No one will molest the camp in daytime.”
“Seems to me that we ought to leave someone here,” Frank said.
“All right, you can stay if you want to!” Jack declared. “Harry and I are going down there to see what the trouble is about.”
“Aw, come on, Frank!” Harry urged. “There won’t anything happen to Gilroy! He may have a bad dream, but that’s about all.”
“How far do you suppose that signal is from here?” asked Frank.
“Not more than half a mile,” Harry explained.
“Then I’ll go,” Frank decided. “I don’t like the idea of sitting around the camp and letting you boys have all the fun. Besides,” he continued, “if it is the messenger who is making the signals, you’ll need all the help you can get.”
“Come running, then!” advised Jack, starting down the slope.
