pouch was safe. however.
Sam was not long coming to him
self again. His left arm was broken
above the elbow by n rife bali and
another ball had entered his chest
near the left shoulder. Neither wound
was dangerous.
About five miles from San Juan. as
he was jogging along at an easy pace
over a stretch OF tableland, he saw
three mounted Indians some distance
ahead Of him. They were coming from
an easterly direction and their course
would intersect his almost at right an
giles. They evidently saw him and he
had no doubt they would attack him !;
that was what they were there for.
But what could he do? To turn back
was no safer than to go forward, for
they would pursue and overtake him.
Then, even If they had no hostile In
tentions, his running from them would
be sure to bring them after him.
