CHAPTER XXVIII
THE FACE IN THE ROCK
"Will we find the treasure up there?" asked Tom. Juarez shook his head.
"No, but those people could have told."
We did not stop to cut steps up the precipitous sandstone to the village in the cliff, because we had no time to stop for antiquities.
"Let's divide here in two parties," said Juarez.
"All right," said Jim. "I imagine that this slit may be a very narrow lateral canyon."
"Maybe," Juarez replied. "I take Tom, you and Jo go together. The one finding it first will fire as a signal to the other party."
This was agreed on and we separated. Jim and I took the wall to the north and Tom and Juarez went south. Jim had his rifle and Juarez a pistol.
