I've a bit of good news for you, _hijos mios_.
gpt
Indeed! what?

That we are still upon the right road. The redskins have gone past here, as I supposed they would.

You've discovered fresh traces of them, then?

I have ever so many scratches of their horses' feet, where they slipped in stepping down to the stream. Quite plain they are; I could distinguish them some way off, and with half an eye, as I was hauling in the _soldado_. Good news, I call it; since we won't have to take the back-track anyhow. What's before us remains to be seen. Possibly, on the other side we may light on something else, to tell the direction they've taken. So, we'd better lose no time, but cross over.
