Ted refused at the time to reveal the details of his plan for trapping the person who was annoying them in their camp, but he promised that he would later on. Feeling that a good part of the morning had been wasted in the details of his fight with Plum, he preferred that they get things done around the camp. This was attended to and then he and Buck had two important matters to attend to.
The first was that of seeking the tracks of the horse who had posed on the rock on the previous evening, with a view to tracing the animal in the hope of obtaining some clue as to its owner. They went to the rock and searched carefully around, moving away from it with eyes alert to pick up the mark of a hoof, but the ground around was too rocky to help them any. Some fifty feet away from it they found one print but that was all, and they finally gave it up as a bad job.
