"Where's Kitoni?" demanded George as Thomas Jefferson alone entered the camp.
"I cannot say."
"Are you expecting him pretty soon?"
"I expect him to be here when he shall come."
"That's quite a remarkable statement, isn't it?" said John lightly, as the Indian turned away and approached the place where Zeke was lying on his back.
An extensive conversation between the Navajo and the guide followed but the Go Ahead Boys were unable to hear anything that was said.
At last, however, Zeke arose and approaching the place where the Go Ahead Boys were standing, he said, "I hear you boys didn't do what I told you?"
"What was that?" inquired Grant.
"I told you not to leave this camp."
"We didn't go very far away," laughed Grant. "Every one of us got busy and we made some circles around the place here where we're stopping. We tried it three times, but we didn't find any signs of the claim which Simon Moultrie had staked."
