"Down!" commanded Miss Elting, in the same moment.
Janus moved more quickly than they ever had seen him do before. They did not think him capable of such rapid action.
"Look out below!" he roared, as, with a series of rapid kicks, he sent the burning sticks of the campfire tumbling over the edge into the little ravine below the "Shelter."
"Get out of the light! Come up here as fast as ye can! Into the hut with ye, every one!" Janus sprang from the rock and ran down the path toward Harriet and Jane.
"What's the matter now?" demanded Jane, who did not understand.
"I don't know," answered Harriet, herself a little startled. "I heard a gun fired twice. Can it be that some one is shooting at us? Oh, I hope not. But we must get out of here! Mr. Grubb, is that you?" she called, hearing some one floundering toward them.
"It's Grubb. Get out of that."
"What has happened?" begged Harriet, hurrying to meet the guide, who came on a run to where they stood.
"Enough! Did you hear the shots?"
"Yes."
