At last, however, they grew weary of waiting, and had resolved to put him to death, when deliverance came as recorded. That there was more treasures was proven later on. The stone chest was taken up, and beneath was found a cross of gold that was valued at fifteen thousand dollars. With the treasure on board, the Dart started southeastward for the United States.
From Jaroslav their front ran in almost a straight line for thirty miles southeastward to the outer and northern forts around Przemysl, described nearly a complete circle around the western and southern forts to Mosciska on the east, thence south to Sambor, and from Sambor to Stryj. From Stryj eastward to the Bukowina the line remained unaltered.
Lighter grew the deep gorge and lighter still, and soon in glorious radiance the morning sunshine blazed on the lofty battlements far overhead, and every moment the black shadow on the westward wall, visible to the defense long rifle-shot southeastward, gave gradual way before the rising day god, and from the broader open reaches beyond the huge granite shoulder, around which wound the cañon, and from the sun-kissed heights, a blessed warmth stole softly in, grateful inexpressibly to their chilled and stiffened limbs.
I fancy that all the wee lives that sleep and wake beneath it are part of its mystery, its longing and its unfathomable promise. A tiny brown wing brushed my cheek this morning, flitting madly southeastward on the wings of the November gale.
In a very few minutes we had lost the station buildings in the rain behind us and then Ranjoor Singh began to lead in a wide semicircle, so that before long I judged we were marching about southeastward. At the end of an hour or so he changed direction to due east, and presently we saw another telegraph line. I overtook him again and suggested that we cut it. "Nay!" said he.
They are now turning more southeastward; they sleep here, in the Kaiser's territory, welcomed by some Official persons; who signify that the overjoyed Imperial Majesty has, as was extremely natural, paid the bill everywhere. On the morrow, before the shuttles awaken, Friedrich Wilhelm is gone again; towards the Glogau region, intending for Liegnitz that night. At night he gets to Liegnitz.
To north and northeast of the mountain went the two Armstrongs, seeking the stranger's trail; while to south and southeastward explored the Crimmins boys. If real, the giant bull had to be located; if a myth, he had to be exploded before raising impossible hopes in the hearts of visiting sportsmen. Then suddenly arrived corroboration of all the stories. It came from Charley Crimmins.
To the southeastward stretched the open country, lying bright and fair in the morning light, but on either side, and evidently behind, rose great mountains. "This thing is a regular fortress and no women built it, I can tell you that," said Terry. We nodded agreeingly. "It's right up among the hills they must have brought us a long way."
The southwestward motion thus produced between the tropic of Cancer and the equator is the well-known trade-wind. Now, according to this theory, the prevailing winds of our temperate latitudes ought to have a southeastward motion as far as the calms of Cancer or "the horse latitudes." Moreover, instead of these calms, there should still be a southward motion.
And so the captain was with them, as with darkness settling down they neared the great cliff towering against the southeastward sky. Then suddenly they realized they were guided thither only just in time to raise a well-nigh fatal siege.
