"That listens good to me, too," declared Sandy. "The man wouldn't
try to drug us unless he had some strong motive for doing so!"
"We're all together once more, anyhow!" Will observed, "and I think
we'd better stay together. I never did like this idea of one boy
sneaking away in the night and leaving the others to guess where he
went to. It isn't safe to go wandering off alone in that way!"
"Yes, I'd talk about that if I were you!" laughed Sandy. "You go
wandering off by yourself more than any of the bunch!"
"I think it's a good thing for you boys that I went wandering off
alone this morning," Will argued.
"You didn't go wandering off alone!" Thede cut in. "You had Pierre
with you? Poor Pierre!" he continued. "I'm sorry for him! I
suppose we'll have to make some kind of a grave and give him decent
burial!"
"Sure, we'll do that!" agreed Will. "But what is puzzling me just
now is this," the boy went on, "how are we going to get out of this
hole with that Antoine watching our every move? He'll shoot us
down just as quick as he shot Pierre if he gets a chance."
The boys took short trips out of the cavern in quest of their
enemy, but were unable to discover any traces of him other than the
tracks in the snow.
