"In course we're not sure," said Zeke, "but we can get an idea about where
to look."
"When shall we start?" asked Grant.
"First thing in the morning" replied the guide. "We wouldn't take any
chances starting by night, though now that I've got that chap's revolver
I'm thinkin' we wouldn't have anything very much to fear from him."
"But the other man may have a pistol," suggested George.
"That's right," acknowledged Zeke. "All the more reason for waitin' until
mornin' afore we start."
"Well, there's one thing," laughed Grant, "and that is that we shan't try
to go down the Gulch the same way those two men started."
"They did sit down hard, didn't they?" chuckled Zeke.
Again the Go Ahead Boys laughed at the recollection of the ludicrous sight
presented by the two white men when they had unexpectedly started swiftly
on their descent of the Gulch.
When the following morning dawned, the guides and the two Navajos were the
first to be stirring in the camp. Before breakfast had been prepared,
however, the Go Ahead Boys were awake and preparing for their expedition.
The packs were to be restrapped and all their various belongings secured.
