CHAPTER XXXII.
THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY Early the next morning Tom and Hervey hiked down to Catskill.
"I don't see why we don't hike straight for the mountain," Hervey said; "it would be much nearer." "Didn't you ever sail up the Hudson ?" Tom asked him.

"All the trails up the steep mountains are as plain as day from the river.

If you want to discover a trail get a bird's-eye view.

Don't you know that aviators discover trails that even hunters never knew about before?
If the kidnappers went up that mountain, they probably went an easy way, because they're not scouts or woodsmen.

See?
It would be an awful job picking our way up that mountain from camp.
