It's a awful deep lake." "It isn't as deep as the ocean," Freddie said, "and I'm going on the ocean in a ship." "Are you? When?" asked Johnnie. "When Tommy Todd and I start to look for his father. His father is lost at sea on a desert island, like Robinson Crusoe, and we're going to find him." "Take me along!" begged Johnnie. "I'm not afraid of the ocean, even if it's deeper'n the lake.
They were close to the schooner now, the other boats a little behind them. "You needn't heave in the dories till after dinner," said Troop from the deck. "We'll dress daown right off.
