Kelto's feminine, too white hand with pencil-thin fingers crept out of his jacket pocket and moved to the general area where Madden had drawn the second circle. "Here and here," he said cryptically, pointing to two different locations. "These in this area are quite high." He pointed to the western or far wall of the inlet. ''The ones located on the eastern wall, below the old woman's house, are at about water level. It's a sheer drop, and there may even be water in some of them. I've checked out the ones on the western wall. I never could figure out how to get to the ones below the house." |

Madden stepped back as I circled around the two men and studied the map. "Then that means the old house sits directly over the caves." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It's very steeptwenty, maybe thirty feet down to the first caves. They're smaller. The bigger ones are right at the level of the water," Kelto said. |

Madden studied the maps. "Is there any way to come into the inlet from the lake side?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The water comes in through an underground passage. I've looked at it. The entrance is above the surface on the lake side and below the surface in the inlet." |

|
Again Madden's shoulders sagged. "Okay, Researcher," he groused, turning to me, "got any ideas?" |
