Harry nodded . `` We will be off early . You say it is ten miles from the spot where we shall see it . If we start at daybreak I can be there before noon , which will give me plenty of time for a first look round the place . We have got some torches left . I shall want them , for possibly there may be some chambers underground into which we shall have to penetrate . We may take it as certain that , whether the old people hid a great treasure from the Incas , or the Incas hid one from the Spaniards , they did not leave it about in rooms , but stowed it away in vaults like those we saw at Pachacamac , and these will certainly want a lot of looking for .
