Pushing ahead into the interior, Michel leads the way through the rough country. Jack and his friends are looking for a native peddler who may know something about professor Lorrie. They have been watched closely by Morels. A matter that makes Betty nervous. Did the trader come along the watch legitimately, or did he steal it?
Uncle Jim and Jack talk about the rough river crossing. Surely, their horses can’t cross the suspension bridge. Though the trail is closely watched, uncle Jim thinks the sentries are more interested in army activity.
Jack and Billy test the walkie-talkies in case they’re needed for the river crossing. The water is swift, but uncle Jim is confident in the horses’ ability to make it. Betty worries the horses don’t like the river. Will her concern over the sentries prove real
Jack comments on the horses as they cross, and the watchers in the woods. The crossing goes well enough, but will the greeting party of natives go as nicely?
