Chapter I. THE AMBUSH
THE vultures knew a feast awaited them. They hung almost motionless in the gray,
ominous sky. Their beady eyes stared greedily down into the deep canyon that lay
beneath them.
The canyon was gloomy as a grave. Its walls rose sheer and straight for an
interminable distance. Boulders and runty trees lined its sides. A small stream
droned a mournful dirge in the center. Except for the dirge of that stream there
was no sound.
But death waited there!
Only the vultures from above could have seen the men-vultures below. They were
huddled behind boulders. The half darkness of the canyon combined with the khaki
they wore to make them almost invisible. Fully two-score men were there.
They were of almost every race and nationality. But they were alike in the greed
that shone in their eyesЧand in the modern instruments of murder they carried.
A faint sound came from the far end of the canyon. The dim figure of a man
appeared in the distance, stood motionless for a moment, then vanished.
