Good. Now the question is what is best to do. Undoubtedly the Austrians will send a force of cavalry out looking for our bodies, and when they fail to find them, they will spread out and give chase. That way they are bound to overtake us sooner or later. Shall we bear off to the left, with a hope of losing them, or shall we go straight ahead as fast as we can and trust to luck?

I think I can answer that, said Hal, suddenly.

As we came out I remember passing an old shack of some kind, a short distance off our left. I vote we make for that, and if we can reach it, we will attempt to hold it until daylight, when we can expect some assistance from the Italians. They will come to our aid when they see us besieged by the Austrians.

A good plan, declared Colonel Anderson.

Do you think you can lead the way to the shack you speak of?
gpt
I can come pretty close to it, declared Hal.

My sense of direction is still with me, I believe. Come on.
