Chapter Thirty Seven.
Gwyn’s Error.
All at once, as the boys went along near the cliff edge, they found that Dinass had disappeared, and Joe expressed himself as being relieved.
“Went back beyond that ridge of rocks, I suppose,” said Gwyn; “but I certainly thought he wanted to cut us off for some reason. Well, it’s a good job he has gone.”
But a little later they found that Dinass had not gone, for all the while Grip had had an eye on his movements and had acted after the manner of a dog.
For, after about five minutes, there was a sharp barking heard as the boys trudged on.
“Why, where’s Grip?” said Gwyn. “I thought he was here.”
The barking was repeated, and the dog was seen close to the edge of the cliff a hundred yards away, barking at something below him.
