They dismounted and walked to the hilltop. The big monument, built of
loose stones and freshly dug slabs of ore, flashed green and blue in the
sun. Stan found a folded paper between two flat stones.

"Here's their location notice," he said.

He started to unfold it; a word caught his eye and his jaw dropped. He
held the notice over, half opened, so that Pete and Joe could see the
last paragraph:

"Zere is a note," said Joe; "I see eet wizzinside."

Stanley unfolded the location notice. A note dropped out. Pete picked it
up and read it aloud:

Pete: We did not know about the boy, or we would have helped, of course.
Only for him you had us beat. So this squares that up.

Your location does not take in quite all the hill. So we located the
little end piece for ourselves. We think that is about right.

Yours truly
C. Mayer Zurich
