"Did you find Tom's Thumb?" asked Grant
"We did," answered the guide quietly.
"You did?" exclaimed Grant. "If you had never seen it before how did you know it was the place for which you were looking?"
"You couldn't miss it," explained Zeke. "There's a stretch of rock there almost as big as a house that is shaped exac'ly like a man's fist, only the thumb stands straight up."
"Did it really look like a thumb?" inquired Fred excitedly.
"It did. We both saw it about the same time and there wasn't any mistaking it either."
"That's all right then," said Grant. "If we've found Two Crow Tree and Tom's Thumb then it ought not to be very hard for us to find Split Rock. We know just about where it is placed, according to the map that Simon Moultrie drew."
"It's on the other side of the Gulch though," suggested George.
"You don't mean it?" exclaimed Fred laughingly. "What a wise chap you are." As Fred spoke Grant drew from his pocket the paper on which he had retraced the outlines of the map drawn by Simon Moultrie.
"In course we're not sure," said Zeke, "but we can get an idea about where to look."
