Chapter XXIII
CALLACK'S CRUEL THREAT "Well," remarked Callack as he eyed his captives, "you hid the gold pretty far down, I guess. I haven't been able to find it." He waited, seemingly for an answer, but Mr. Baxter did not reply, nor did the boys say anything. "Now," went on the rascally white man, "I'm going to make you tell me where you've buried it, for I know you did bury it." "Then why don't you find it?" asked Mr. Baxter.
