PASSAGE—III

The tigress was a mile away and the ground between her and us was densely wooded, scattered over with great rocks and cut up by a number of deep ravines, but she could cover the distance well within the half-hour — if she wanted to. The question I had to decide was, whether or not I should try to call her. If I called and she heard me, and came while it was still daylight and gave me a chance to shoot her, all would be well; on the other hand, if she came and did not give me a shot, some of us would not reach camp, for we had nearly two miles to go and the path the whole way ran through heavy jungle

When the author says 'all would be well', he means

that they would be able to hide themselves in the heavy jungle

that the tigress would run away to the deep ravines

that they would be able to shoot her down without difficulty

that they would be able to return in daylight
