“I think we’re going to strike something inside of a very few minutes.”
This time Bob’s hunch was fulfilled quickly for they had not gone ten feet further when they came to a trail running at right angles to the way they were going.
“Some hunch, I’ll say,” Jack’s tone was very sarcastic.
“It worked pretty well, that’s a fact.”
“Do you mean to tell me that you didn’t see this trail before you had that hunch?”
“I sure didn’t. If you don’t believe it go back to where we were standing and see if you can.”
“Oh, you know that if you say you didn’t that settles it, and again I repeat, some hunch.”
“Well, it sounds better when you say it that way,” Bob laughed.
The trail which they had struck was one which had evidently been made recently. It was still very rough although there was abundant evidence to show that a vehicle of some kind had been driven over it.
“I believe we’ve struck it,” Bob declared as he looked first one way and then the other.
