“Why are you so sure?”
“We overheard one of the Mekewai boys tell Wolf Brennan and Toby McCallum that they had buried the sacks in a safe place.”
“In a safe place,” mused the policeman aloud.
“Yes,” Sandy corroborated his chum, “those were the very words he used.”
Corporal Rand sat for a moment immersed in thought. Then suddenly he started to his feet.
“I think I’ll go in and have a talk with Henri Mekewai,” he said.
CHAPTER XXIV.
NEAR FRAZER’S CABIN.
When Corporal Rand came out of the room in which Henri Mekewai was imprisoned, the boys met him in the hall outside.
“What luck?” asked Sandy.
“Not a word out of him,” Rand growled a little testily. “Couldn’t get him to admit that he had even taken the sacks out of the cellar. Claims that he knows nothing about it. I tried to frighten him, but it’s no use. The only way to get to the bottom of this is to find Frazer himself and force a confession.”
