They found
Hazel very much excited over something that had occurred in the camp
during their absence.
CHAPTER XVIII
FACED BY A FRESH MYSTERY
There were serious expressions on the faces of the Meadow-Brook Girls
when Miss Elting and the guide came in. Miss Elting saw at once that
something was amiss. She demanded to know what it was.
"Hazel saw something that frightened her," answered Harriet.
"Saw something?" repeated the guardian, looking from one girl to the
other.
"Tell it," urged Harriet, nodding to Hazel.
"I was watching for you and the girls when I thought I heard something
behind me. I looked around but saw nothing unusual. But I had a
feeling that some one was about. I walked to the other end of the camp
and back. I saw no one--nothing, I hadn't thought to look up.
Something made me do so just then and I saw it."
"Saw what?" demanded the guardian and the guide in chorus.
"A man."
"You did?" exclaimed Janus. "Where?"
"He was behind those green bushes that you see up there--Oh, he has
gone. No need to go up there now, Mr. Grubb." Janus had begun to
climb the rocks.
