So it was decided to leave them hidden in a clump of bushes near.
This was done, and the start into the interior made.
For an hour the explorers tramped on through a panorama of most wonderful sort.
All manner of curious wild animals and birds were seen.
Some were of a species which it was certain were of antediluvian origin.
No incident of thrilling sort occurred, until suddenly a great cry came from Roger’s lips.
He bent down over a heap of quartz and cried:
“Gold! As I live it is shining gold!”
In an instant the others were all by his side.
It was plain to be seen that Roger had made a great find.
