"In that case, we'd better be getting out where he is," said Sandy.

The boys both left the fire and darted out into the darkness,
listening for the call but hearing only the roaring of the wind.




CHAPTER VI

THE CAVE OP THE TWO BEARS

"Bears?" exclaimed George, as the lads listened in front of the
cave, "do you think there are polar bears up here? I think it's
cold enough for the big white variety."

"Put your head inside the cave," Thede suggested, "and you won't be
wondering whether there are any bears here."

George did as requested, and soon the warm animal odor noticeable
in the various zoos of the country attacked his nostrils.

"What kind of bears are they?" he asked.

"I've heard Pierre say there were black and brown bears," replied
Thede. "You know I haven't been in here only a few days."

"I wonder if they'll bite."
