Until now they hadn't shot at us, probably afraid of hitting the girl, but when they saw her push the priest over the edge of the canyon they saw that her sympathies were with us, and they let drive at us with their arrows.

We were all slightly wounded--not enough to mention--and we got back into the cave where their arrows couldn't reach us.

Three or four times the Toltecs tried to swing the bridge back into position, but they couldn't make it because there was no one on our side to help them, and Taggart and me made things mighty unpleasant for them with our sixes.

They finally went away and held a council of war, which seemed to leave them undecided.

They evidently hadn't figured on the girl turning traitor.
