"Then we'll make it from memory," said Grant quietly. "Let me see," he
continued, as he took a note book from his pocket and at once began to
draw on a blank page. "Here's Thorn's Gulch," he added as he drew lines
to indicate the great canyon. "We have come about six miles so we'll put
our camp about here," he explained as he marked the location. "Now as I
remember, Simon Moultrie had marked Two Crow Tree on this side of the
Gulch and about so far from the place where the Gulch runs into the Grand
Canyon. Then about so much further on the same side of the Gulch was Tom's
Thumb. About half way between Two Crow Tree and Tom's Thumb on the other
side of the Gulch was Split Rock. Then a little to the right in back here
was the place he marked as the stake. Now, let me see, what were the
figures and the letters he had there?"
"The first one," said Fred interested now in what Grant was saying, "was
'1/2 m. n.e.'"
"That's right," said Grant, "and right below it was '1/4 m. s.e.'"
"And the last one at the bottom," joined in George, "was '1/4 m. n.n.e.'"
"There," Grant said with satisfaction as he held his drawing up for
inspection.
