“Did you see him?”
“Sure did.”
“What did he look like?”
“I didn’t see him plainly enough to tell but follow me carefully and we’ll soon know.”
Dropping to their hands and knees they crept on up the mountain keeping behind the trees so far as possible.
“We’ll wait here a bit and I think we’ll see him in a minute,” Bob said, as he stretched himself at full length behind a thick bush.
He found that by parting the bushes slightly he had a fair view of the summit which, for a large space, was entirely devoid of trees. No one was in sight at first but after waiting a few minutes he saw a man emerge from a small clump of trees a little to one side of the clearing.
“Take a peep at that fellow and see if you know him,” Bob said as he drew back and let Jack take his place.
“He’s the little fellow who was with Pierre and Tiny,” Jack announced a moment later as he drew back.
“I thought as much. Now we’ll watch and see what he’s up to.”
