They were fastened by a lock, and defied his utmost strength. “Did you send me that wire to get up here as quickly as I could? It caught me at Las Cruces just by chance.” “P’r’aps—p’r’aps it goes through a cave,” suggested Bob. “I’ve read about underground rivers, haven’t you?” “All right,” was all he said. “But let’s find the mouth of the tunnel.
