It was a four-hour run by train to Sheridan and an hour by sleigh to the Norris cabin at Pocassett, a little settlement of camps and cottages at the foot of the Whiteface range of mountains. In the early afternoon Neil and Teeny-bits had arrived in the snow-covered country and were receiving the greetings of their Jefferson School friends.
A crowd of superstitions surged upon him. He cast an affrighted glance at the ghastly snow-covered woods and sheeted earth. He was remembering fireside legends, horrible enough to raise the hair on a sophisticated, educated boy's head; much more horrible, then, to a young backwoodsman like Rick.
"Then, for example, could you march through a rough, snow-covered country on as little food as I could?" "No, again," answered Nasmyth. "You would probably hold out two or three days longer than I could." "Vernon was a stronger and tougher man than I am," Lisle went on.

But I will never completely give up the search, for I am sure the hidden city exists somewhere under these mountains," and he looked off toward the snow-covered peaks of the Andes. Tom looked at the battery box. He drew a long breath, and said: "Here she goes!"
