“I can usually find a place where I’ve been before,” said Tom.
“What’s the matter with following the brook when we get to it?” said Garry. “If there’s anyone camping there they’d have to be near water.”

“That settles one thing I was trying to dope out,” said Tom. “Why should people come as far as that just to stalk?”
“Maybe they’re scouts, camping.”
“They’d have smudged up the whole sky with signals,” said Tom.
“Maybe it’s someone up there hunting.”
“Only it isn’t the season,” laughed Garry. “No sooner said than stung, as Roy would say. Gee, I wish he was along!”
“Same here,” said Doc.
“They’re probably there fishing,” said Tom. “The stalking business is a side issue, most likely.”
