Chapter XXVI
MORE OF A MYSTERY There was a wild scrambling on the part of all the young hunters to get out of the zone of danger. They leaped for the rocks behind them, and Shep and Snap succeeded in mounting to spots of comparative safety. But Giant was not so successful, and, slipping and sliding, He rolled over and over, coming to a stop when flat on his back. "Get up! get up!" screamed the doctor's son. "Hurry up, Giant!"
