Joe left a sign with an arrow pointing in the direction he was going, as well as the word "Hout". Hout means "out".
The forge was shut up for the day, and Joe inscribed in chalk upon the door (as it was his custom to do on the very rare occasions when he was not at work) the monosyllable HOUT, accompanied by a sketch of an arrow supposed to be flying in the direction he had taken.
