“Have you seen Sandy and Toma?”
“Yes.”
“What did they say?”
“They’re as eager to go as I am,” replied Dick.
Corporal Rand drummed on the arm of his chair.
“I can see no reason why you shouldn’t start right away,” he declared. “The only difficulty is that you will be compelled to take supplies for the trip, and just now pack-horses would be inadvisable. A dog team would be better, but there’s no snow.”
“We were talking about that,” Dick put in eagerly. “Why couldn’t we travel on foot to Fort Wonderly and buy our team and supplies there?”
“A capital idea!” approved Rand.
“Can we start in the morning?” Dick asked impetuously.
“Yes.”
