There's 00 sign at n path up the rocks, but tbe ascent to he fairly easy." The news caused fresh excitement. The discovery of tha entrance seemed te he proof of the accuracy of the chart, and both Bees and Mrs. Arch were agog to go ashore at once. Captain Bunker, however, demurred. "Poesihly this cleft will lead you where yen want to go," he said. "But ay Instructions say nothing about landing. They merely tell me to go to the northeest comer. Presumably Mr. Arcbman will be watching for ot and will communies ta. Certainty he won't he watching for anybody on this path, hec ans e Ira doesn't know that you have recovered tbe map. It aeama to me heat to obey Instructions and run to the place Mr. Arcbman specified, stay ing there long enoogb to give him a chance to see na and to communicate. If he doesn't, wa can come hack." Mrs. Archroan listened with evident disapproval.

A moment later tbe boat was shoved off and rowed swiftly shoreward. Aa It drew close to the shore, a long, deep silt cut slantingly into the cliff became apparent.

"It seems to me that the woods are a littia thinner off yonder," she said, pointing ahead and to the right. "We might get a view from there." "Let's find out."
