“Show me where she was when you saw her,” requested Tom Gray.
Woo led him to a huge boulder, about a hundred yards from the camp.
“Me savvy piecee woman peek ovel locks,” said the guide.
“A woman peeked over the rocks there. Is that it?” asked Elfreda, the entire party having followed Woo out to the scene of his discovery.
“Les.”
“What did she do then?” persisted Tom.
“Him go ’way plenty quick.”
Grace and Hippy hurried forward and began examining the ground, but found no trace, no footprints, nothing that would indicate that a person had been there.
“Woo, it is my opinion that you went to sleep and had nightmare,” declared Hippy laughingly. “No one has been here. See! She would have left footprints at least.”
“Piecee woman go ’way,” insisted Woo.
