CHAPTER VÎ.
The poeltlon which the leader of the
caravan fancied be had been the flrat to
diecover, and where be h»d made up hla

sf rock, offered auch conditions of arcur
ty that the paona regained all their merry

flight of the guide ae an accident of oo
real Importance.
It waa, hence, with well pramialog ar
dor that they roae on receiving their
Kief» command and prepared under hie
direi-tlona to dig tbe trench which waa
mended to protect tlram from a eur-
>!>rla». Thia trench waa to be bordered
by a line of tall etakra. running acrono
the open a{«re between the rock«, which
gave th» sol» accena to the terrace.
At the moment when the leader pro

Th» Meilcan «elected all of hla peona.

Thera grault» block« piled one on top
