About noon
So we decided to make camp in the valley . I was not worried about Jim and Jo , for I felt sure that they could take care of themselves , and I did not really expect them to make the canyon camp either . `` The next day , we hunted slowly down . About noon we started a bunch of goats and they led us a merry chase . At one time I thought we had them cornered . But they were wiser than the hunters , for just as we were in range , they disappeared into a cave in the precipitous wall of rock . `` I decided that we had best be satisfied with our luck , and push on to the camp .
