"Well, my young man of Kaintock," said Francisco Alvarez in his precise English, "we have taken you and at least one of your brother thieves. In good time we'll have the others, too. It was an evil day when you ventured on my plantation so near such a wonderful tracker as The Cat. Why, he detected them instinctively when your comrades ventured near us!"
Long had range rumor been bandied from lip to lip old Gass Isbel had sent for his Indian son to fight the Jorths. Jean Isbel son of a Texan unerring shot peerless tracker a bad and dangerous man!
If you aim at being a capable scout a good tracker don't study the obvious things alone: look as well at the smaller signs, which often tell you more. And wherever you are, whatever you're doing, keep your senses busy your sight, your hearing, your senses of smell and touch.
Then he hit into the brush, an' we lost the trail. Didn't have no tracker with us. Think he went into the mountains. But we took a chance an' rid over the rest of the way, seein' Ord was so close. Anybody come in here late last night or early this mornin'?" "Nope," replied Fletcher. His response was what Duane had expected from his manner, and evidently the cowboy took it as a matter of course.
"There's nothing to be done but to leave the local police in charge and get back to London," said Tarling when the inspection was concluded. "And arrest Milburgh," suggested Whiteside. "Do you accept Ling Chu's theory?" Tarling shook his head. "I am loath to reject it," he said, "because he is the most amazingly clever tracker.
"That's good. Well, well! I'm completely dumfounded. It was my idea that no man could track me in here." "I reckon. But if there's a tracker in these uplands as good as me he can find you." "That's bad. That'll worry me. But, Lassiter, now you're here I'm glad to see you. And and my companion here is not a young fellow!... Bess, this is a friend of mine. He saved my life once."
"Absolutely barren; a desolate waste as far as the eye can see, except that range of mountains away to the south, fifty miles or more off. It would be a dead level, except for the sand-hills; that's all the memory I've got of it." "Well, thar's allers some landmark to a trail, an' I used ter be a pretty fair tracker. Speed yer hoss up a bit, Jim; we've got to ride faster than this."
Only the crack of that single rifle shot the evening before had suggested that we were being followed yet, even if this were true, the black hours since would have prevented any discovery of the direction of our night. Not even an Indian tracker could have picked up our trail amid that darkness. So it was decided to remain where we were, and rest. I need not dwell on the details of our flight.
But I guess I out-distanced them, for after a time I was running alone up the dry bed of a stream where the Hai-Yu Gap cut the hills. I meant to get the boy and bring him back, but I suppose I might as well have tried to follow a black tracker into a tropic jungle as to follow the trail of Red Knife through those Tung-sha hills. "I don't know how far I went.
He was naturally a born tracker of men. For generations his people had lived amid the alarms of threat and attack. He could not be made to understand how so many "tribes," as he called them, of civilized men could live in anything like harmony. That somebody should prowl about the Swift house at night with a desire to rob his young master or injure him, did not surprise Koku in the least.
