"No, nor by the other tunnel either," returned Spicer. "There must be a secret passage we have not found yet."
"Well, what shall we do? They're gone clean enough by this time, that's certain."
"I'm not so sure of that," said Spicer; "but whether or no, there's one thing we'd better do while we're here."
"What's that, sir?"
"Find the Hebrew's stolen treasure, and in fact, everything else we may have overlooked in our previous search. Now that they have got away from us, and know we have discovered their secret, they won't leave anything here that we may pass over."
"That's true enough. But do you really think they may yet be in one or the other of these vaults?"
"I think it's quite possible."
"Then suppose only one of us hunts for the treasure, while the other searches for the murderers."
"Very good, which task do you prefer?"
"To hunt for the villains."
