It may be some distance from here.

We'll try, though, and hope for luck." Dick sauntered easily along in the direction indicated by the two footprints.
As they entered the patch of low bushes both boys noted the fact that the ground had been slightly disturbed, as it might have been by the sliding of a human body over it.
Dick, whose eyes were keener, easily followed the marks on the ground.

Indeed, he did so without appearing to pay much heed to the earth under his feet.
Then the trailers passed three trees, behind which the escaping man might have found good cover.
A hundred yards further on Dave and Dick entered the edge of a grove of trees.

Here there were also several rather thick tangles of brush and bush.
Well inside of one clump Dave, with a start, fancied he saw something that looked like a wall woven of green leaves.

But Dick was trudging on ahead.
