The gold is ours!" Wabi had taken up the map.
"I can't see the slightest possibility of our not finding it," he said.

The cabin is there, and the gold can not be far away." He had carried the map to the door again, and Rod joined him.
"There is nothing that gives us an idea of distance on the map," he continued.
