Pawnee! shouted the boomer,
gpt
You air jess the man I want ter see. Hev ye sot eyes on airy o' the Arbuckles?
human
I'm looking for Dick Arbuckle now, answered the scout.
gpt
Isn't he in the camp? I thought he came here with my mare?
human
He ain't nowhar. Rosy Delaney says he went off with Pumpkin to look for his dad, who had disappeared----
gpt
Then he didn't come back? What can have become of him and Bonnie Bird? Pawnee Brown's face grew full of concern.
human
Something is wrong around here, Jack, he continued, and told the boomer of what had happened up at the Devil's Chimney.
gpt
First it's the father, and now it's the son and my mare. I must investigate this.
human
I'm with yer, Pawnee--with yer to the end. Yer know thet.
gpt
Yes, Jack; you are one of the few men I know I can trust in everything. But two of us are not enough. If harm has befallen the Arbuckles it is the duty of the whole camp--or, at least, every man in it--to try to sift matters to the bottom.
human
Right ye air, Pawnee. I'll raise a hullabaloo and rouse 'em up.
