Hazelton went only to the doorway of the tent, but Danny Grin followed Darrin, keeping at the latter's heels.
Prescott and Reade were hardly sixty seconds later in heading up the slope toward the road, Greg and Harry remaining at the camp.
As they came out from under the trees and into the road Dick discovered that the first signs of dawn were appearing.

In a few minutes more it would be possible to see clearly over a stretch of road more than half a mile in length.

Already objects were beginning to take shape.

Dave was coming back, followed by Dan.

Both were limping slightly, for neither boy was accustomed to traveling barefoot and both had picked up slight stone bruises in their progress.
"Did you sight anything or anyone ?" called Dick.
"No," grumbled Darrin, in deep disgust.
