Losing no time, the three Rover boys stepped into the bushes beside the trail. As they did so the other party came closer, and the lads saw that they carried not only an acetylene gas lamp, but also a ship's lantern and several other things. The party was made up of Sid Merrick, Tad Sobber, Cuffer and Shelley. "It's mighty rough walking here," they heard Tad Sobber complain.

I'm glad your dreams could take even that much trouble about us."
"Now don't you butt in here, Sid!" growled Hank Snogger, with an ugly look at the other cowboy. "I'll see fair play," answered Todd, sharply, and he elbowed his way between Snogger and Dave.
