The men who took him away doubtless thought they were getting Nestor, and they will be so angry when they discover their mistake that the boy will receive very little consideration," was the discouraging explanation.
"Then we may as well be out after him," declared Jimmie.

"I'm not goin' to lie in any old tent while they are killing him.

I'm going out to find him." "In that case," said the guard, "we'll have to go and find you.

Wait until the lieutenant returns, and we'll see what can be done.

He may bring Nestor with him, you know, and he can assist." Although this seemed good sense, it did not please Jimmie at all, and he went back to his tent resolved to get away from the guards as soon as possible and do what he could to find Fremont.
