"And mebby they won't," Jack added. "But I guess that's as good a plan as any. What do you say, Bob?"
"I reckon it is. To try to follow them under the circumstances would be mere guess work unless we can find some clue on the outside."
"That's a mighty good idea. I never thought of that," Jack said. "Let's get at it."
"Better wait till 'nother day," Lucky advised. "Eet geet dark time we geet back now an' we got nothin' eat."
So, after a little discussion it was decided that they would go back to the camp and come again early in the morning and hunt all day if necessary for a clue.

The sun was not yet up although it was after ten o'clock and they were once more standing in front of the cabin. The night before they had seriously considered the plan of moving all their stuff into the cabin and making it their headquarters, but Lucky had not been in favor of it, pointing out that they would have to build a fire in the stove and that the smoke would betray their presence in case the man should return. So the final vote had been against it.
It was Bob who made the above statement and both Jack and the Indian readily agreed with him.
