Although it is all filled in now by masonry, they had to dig down to bedrock and to get there they had to excavate about five hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards of sand, shale and rock. It’s sixty-five feet from the river bed to the bottom of the foundation.” “You won’t need to take a bath after this. If you don’t have about five unexpected ones during the day I miss my guess.” “Gee, but he went quick,” said Bob to himself, “and I wanted to put him wise to Miguel!

Bob kept still, feeling that he would soon know what Miguel planned to do with the explosive, for if whatever plan the Mexican had conceived was not to be consummated to-night, it was evident that he would have buried the additional stuff he had brought instead of digging up his cache. “Did ye come through the gap?” was his greeting in a mild, unsurprised tone.
