The Professor could hardly credit this startling piece of information.
“Do you think, then, that the Tuolos also are with the Kurabus and the Illyas?” asked the Professor earnestly.
“Yes.”
A commotion was noticed among the Berees, and one of the runners sent in advance, toward what now appeared to be the Osagas, reported that the latter and Brabos had routed the two other forces, and were pursuing to the north.
“If that is the case, the Tuolos have not yet come up.”
“We must go forward at once,” exclaimed the Professor.
The combined forces set out on the march. Together they numbered two hundred and twenty men. There was the utmost good feeling between the two people, as was evident.
“Isn’t this good!” cried Will. “What a sight it will be when we reach the Osagas!”
“I wish I knew where the boys were,” responded Jim.
