Flattery, entreaties, threats left him unmoved; he never told me what the third thing was that he had seen behind the Hudson Mountains.

Laura ran for the binoculars and examined the boys' camp. Both powerboats were there, and the five canoes. The boys were all disporting themselves in the water Laura could count the six. "If they did it," she said, "they got back to their camp very early." "See this!" shrieked Bobby, suddenly. She was pointing to the table, set as usual for breakfast.
It was inspiriting, the mere fact that he had determined upon a course of action, and Constans immediately began his preparations for departure. It did not take long to put together his worldly wealth the four books, the binoculars, the pistol, and the chief of his other possessions; now he had everything compactly stowed away in a shoulder pack and was ready for the journey.
"Jed, can you bring that thing down?" The other had been viewing the craft through field binoculars, his face as shocked as the rest of them.

They got the brass ball, or whatever it is, and stowed it aboard their boat. I kept an eye on 'em through the binoculars. Also, I suspect they're going to do some more diving, because they left their equipment on the boat." Rick didn't particularly care at that moment. The flight back had been something of a strain.
