"Why, isn't that watercress?" asked Donald. "Sure it is," said Linda. "Anyone at your house like it?" "Every one of us," answered Donald. "We're all batty about cress salad and, say, that reminds me of something! If you know so much about this canyon and everything in it, is there any place in it where a fellow could find a plant, a kind of salad lettuce, that the Indians used to use?"
"And I saw him digging clams in the loam on Turtle Head." "What do you mean by that?" "I think he buried the tin box there. I saw where he had been digging, but I didn't know any tin box had been stolen then, and thought nothing of it," answered Donald. At this moment there was a tremendous ring at the door bell, a ring that evidently "meant business."
Sanchez and of their adventures of the night before, at which the captain laughed heartily. "You are smart boys," he declared. "And hungry ones," again added Billie. "You must be. Here, Juan," calling a soldier to him. "Take these muchachos to the house and feed them. I'll have a look at these rebels." "Rebels," said Adrian to Donald under his breath as they walked toward the house.
Nothing would satisfy him short of killing the man who seemed to be the personification of his failure to win Smiles. The mountaineer opened the fight with a furious rush. Donald instinctively side-stepped, and met it with a jolting short-arm blow to the other's lean jaw, which sent the aggressor to the ground.

"I should, for one; but I suppose it is no use for me to think of it. My eyes are ever so much better, and I hope I shall be able to sail in the Sea Foam soon." "I hope so, too. We expect she will beat the Skylark; father thinks she will." "I don't care whether she does or not," laughed Nellie. "Do you think I could see your father just a moment?" asked Donald.
"I'm willing, Bob," replied Donald, eagerly. "All right." "I hope Ned don't think hard of me for speaking of this matter," added Donald. "I wouldn't have uttered a word if this result did not affect our business." "I understand it, Don John; and so does Ned.
