In a few moments Hippy had a fire snapping.
By its light they looked about in amazement.

The camp was a wreck.

Every tent in their outfit had been slit to pieces, tent poles had been broken up, and such other equipment as they had left out, including three blankets, which had been overlooked when they hid their belongings, had been practically destroyed.
A sudden thought occurring to her, Anne ran on fleet feet to the place where their provisions and equipment had been secreted.

She found the stones torn away from the opening and their supplies scattered about.
The ground about the opening to the hiding place was littered with them.
Her next move was to look for their rifles and ammunition.

A moment later she ran breathlessly into camp.
"The equipment has been scattered, but the rifles and ammunition are as we left them," panted Anne.
