If
Harris
were
detected
in
open
treason
before
the
hour
for
action
,
at
least
the
young
novice
and
his
companions
were
not
in
fear
of
any
immediate
danger
.
In
fact
,
it
was
the
discovery
of
the
irons
abandoned
by
some
slaves
,
and
the
roaring
of
the
lion
,
that
had
caused
the
American
's
sudden
disappearance
.
He
knew
that
he
was
discovered
,
and
he
had
fled
probably
before
the
little
party
which
he
guided
had
reached
the
place
where
an
attack
had
been
arranged
.
As
for
Negoro
,
whose
presence
Dingo
had
certainly
recognized
during
these
last
days
of
the
march
,
he
must
have
rejoined
Harris
,
so
as
to
consult
with
him
.
At
any
rate
,
several
hours
would
pass
before
Dick
Sand
and
his
friends
would
be
assailed
,
and
it
was
necessary
to
profit
by
them
.
The
only
plan
was
to
regain
the
coast
as
quickly
as
possible
.
This
coast
,
as
the
young
novice
had
every
reason
to
believe
,
was
that
of
Angola
.
After
having
reached
it
,
Dick
Sand
would
try
to
gain
,
either
to
the
north
or
to
the
south
,
the
Portuguese
settlements
,
where
his
companions
could
await
in
safety
some
opportunity
to
return
to
their
country
.
But
,
to
effect
this
return
to
the
coast
,
should
they
take
the
road
already
passed
over
?
Dick
Sand
did
not
think
so
,
and
in
that
he
was
going
to
agree
with
Harris
,
who
had
clearly
foreseen
that
circumstances
would
oblige
the
young
novice
to
shorten
the
road
.
In
fact
,
it
would
have
been
difficult
,
not
to
say
imprudent
,
to
recommence
this
difficult
journey
through
the
forest
,
which
,
besides
,
could
only
tend
to
bring
them
out
at
the
place
they
had
started
from
.
This
would
also
allow
Negoro
's
accomplices
to
follow
an
assured
track
.
The
only
thing
they
could
do
was
to
cross
a
river
,
without
leaving
any
traces
,
and
,
later
on
,
to
descend
its
course
.
At
the
same
time
,
there
was
less
to
fear
from
an
attack
by
animals
,
which
by
a
happy
chance
had
so
far
kept
at
a
good
distance
.
Even
the
animosity
of
the
natives
,
under
these
circumstances
,
seemed
less
important
.
Once
embarked
on
a
solid
raft
,
Dick
Sand
and
his
companions
,
being
well
armed
,
would
be
in
the
best
condition
to
defend
themselves
.
The
whole
thing
was
to
find
the
river
.
It
must
be
added
that
,
given
the
actual
state
of
Mrs.
Weldon
and
her
little
Jack
,
this
mode
of
traveling
would
be
the
most
suitable
.
Arms
would
not
fail
to
carry
the
sick
child
.
Lacking
Harris
's
horse
,
they
could
even
make
a
litter
of
branches
,
on
which
Mrs.
Weldon
could
be
borne
.
But
this
would
require
two
men
out
of
five
,
and
Dick
Sand
wished
,
with
good
reason
,
that
all
his
companions
might
be
free
in
their
movements
in
case
of
a
sudden
attack
.
And
then
,
in
descending
the
current
of
a
river
,
the
young
novice
would
find
himself
in
his
element
!
The
question
now
was
,
whether
a
navigable
stream
of
water
existed
in
the
neighborhood
.
Dick
Sand
thought
it
probable
,
and
for
this
reason
:
The
river
which
emptied
into
the
Atlantic
at
the
place
where
the
"
Pilgrim
"
had
stranded
could
not
ascend
much
to
the
north
,
nor
much
to
the
east
,
of
the
province
,
because
a
chain
of
mountains
quite
close
to
them
--
those
which
they
had
mistaken
for
the
Cordilleras
--
shut
in
the
horizon
on
these
two
sides
.
Then
,
either
the
river
descended
from
these
heights
,
or
it
made
a
bend
toward
the
south
,
and
,
in
these
two
cases
,
Dick
Sand
could
not
take
long
to
find
the
course
.
Perhaps
,
even
before
reaching
the
river
--
for
it
had
a
right
to
this
qualification
,
being
a
direct
tributary
of
the
ocean
--
one
of
its
affluents
would
be
met
with
which
would
suffice
for
the
transport
of
the
little
party
.
