EXPLORATION
FRANK thought of reconnoltoring
their p. jltlon but decided against
It It would leave Janice unprotected
and at night he would discover but
little of value.
Unprotected! He smiled grimly.
His joints ached, the wound In his
back pained him. He was com para
uveiv weaponless. There was not
much protection he would be able
to offer Janice.
His eyelids drooped. He arose and
began to walk about the Are. But
his limbs were leaden. Weariness
(orced blm to lie upon the ground
His head sank lower. Sleep tell upon
blm with tha speed of a dropping
hawk.
A thudding upon the ground woke
him. He lay a moment adjusting his
mind to his surroundings. Overhead,
In the turquoise sky of dawn, a vul
ture hovered. It drifted beyond his
sight. Through the arched fronds of
leaning palm trees he saw the
Jungle-clad Hp of a low cllft. Its face
arched back and under.
Beneath it was a low mound of
debris, topped with ahrubbery. In
tantly he knew that It was upon
this mound that Janice and he had
fallen. This was verified as he noted
the break In the vegetation at the
cliff s edge where the old Maya road
' had abruptly terminated In space.
Tha thudding recommenced a vi
bration upon the ground that was
transmitted to his ear.
Swiftly he arose to his feet, and
glanced about him. The Are was dull
embers In whits ashes. Janice was
not In sight. He parted his Hps to
call when be caught sight of her
within the palm grove. With the
machete she was pounding at an ob
ject npon a rock.
As be approached she looked up
with a smile.
"Breakfast, maybe," she told him.
"These cocoanuts are like leather.
And not at all like the kind we have
at home."
Frank chuckled. "The greatest
' wonder," he Informed her, "Is that
you recognized them for cocoanuts.
Here,'-let me have the knife. The
one you're working on Is rather old.
I'll get some good ones.".
. LIB LAUGHED at her crestfallen
1 1 face. Strapping the machete to
his waist he approached one of the
smaller trees.
"I haven't 'shinned' since I was a
kid but ,. , watch me."
He made the aecent Reaching the
lower leaves, be hacked at a cluster
of green nuts. He called to Janice to
watch out.
The nuta thudded to the ground.
Be slid down.
Chopping at the green fiber, soon
he had two of the nuts open at the
top. He passed one to Janice.
"Here'a how," he grinned. "Drink
all you can, and scoop out the pulp
with your Angers. Fingers were
made before spoons, you know."
"Out not mine," she answered
with a little mock grimace.
It waa little enough tor breakfast,
but It must serve. They tossed away
the emptied husks and stood look
ing at each other. She seemed to
sense the trouble In his eyes. Im
pulsively she put forward her band
and rested It upon his sleeve.
"Never mind," abe said. "We'll get
out somehow."
"Of course," he answerod with
forced cheerfulness. But the memory
of Green's and Juan'a sacrifice for
them lay Ilk a pall upon him. In
that Inatant be took oath with him
aelt that their herolo act would not
have been In vain. He would, some
how, get Janice out of this.
"Let's take a look around," he
suggested. "We can't get back the
way we came, ?o let's continue on
In the direction of the broken road.
I think I saw another cliff a few
hundred yards acrosa this little val

Perhaps wa can climb up to there
and continue on tbe road. Consider
Ing the direction of the sun, the rosd
runs roughly east and west. Might
be able to follow It to the sea."
TTB RECOVERED his coat from
II the side of the Are and they
began to work their way toward the
spot where another cliff, similar to

the one they had fallen over, faced
them.
Halfway to It the ground dipped
sharply into a swiftly running
stream. The stream was not wide,
but It was very deep. They followed
It northward a few hundred yards
until they dlecovered that the Aow
came out from a huge cavern under
the northern cliff.
They stopped, nonplussed. No
where had thoy discovered a way of
gaining the level of the Jungle above
them.
f
hie told Janice to watch out.
They retraced their stops until
they came to the spot where they
had camped the night before. Tbe
sun had swung up Into the sky. Their
little valley was becoming as humid
as a hot house. Wralthes of rapor,
sucked upward from the damp
ground, fogged the rank regetntlpn.
Frank glanced anxiously at the girl
by his aide.
"Fool like resting, Janlee?"
She shook her bend. "I'm not tired.
Just a little hungry."
Thoy plckod their way southward.
Finally thoy reached the lower end
of the stream. As It had at the other
end of the little valloy here again
the current swirled Into the man
of cavern under the face of that
queorly concave cliff. Frank said
thoughtfully.
"And no way to get out of here Id
this direction." He glanced back
ward up the stream. The currenl
flowed around a small promontory
two hundred yards distant. The
trunk of a palm lay across th,
