Hamlin's eyes followed the long
sweep Of the cross-ridge. studying its
trend. and the direction Of the inter
vening valleys. Once down on the
other slope all this extensive view
would be hidden: they would have to
ride blindly. guessing At the particular
swale along which those others were
advancing. To come to the summit
again would SURELY expose them to
those keen Indian eyes. They would

horses broke through the crust to

intervening was too great for either

their keen eyes searched the valley
