"It may be a cold day for somebody before we get through," was all Jerry replied. "You haven't the ghost of a show," called one of Noddy's companions. "You'll think you're standing still when we start." The others laughed at this joke, and Noddy seemed pleased.
Yonder on that other pine, when this is out of our way, awaits our bedding." "What funny bedding!" "Just you wait and see." When enough wood was chopped to clear a way on the ledge, Polly showed Eleanor how to make bundles of it. These were tied by means of the rope to Noddy's harness and carefully dragged back to the cave.
"It's not fair to have a high power auto race one of two cylinders." "Ours has four," spoke Ned. "Of course its not as up-to-date as Noddy's is, but " "We'll beat him!" exclaimed Bob. "We've done it before and we can do it again." "I'm afraid not," went on Tom. "That big green car of his will go ahead of anything on this track."
Several other autos soon appeared on the track to have a "tryout," and, though none of them seemed as speedy as Noddy's new machine, there was no talk of dropping out on the part of those who had entered. That gave the boys more courage, and they decided to stick, even though their chances were not good. Noddy did not speak to them, though he passed them several times.
Gunter replied that his father was to the full as respectable as Mr. Noddy's father, and that his father's son was as good a man as Mr. Noddy, any day in the week. As this announcement seemed the prelude to a recommencement of the dispute, there was another interference on the part of the company; and a vast quantity of talking and clamoring ensued, in the course of which Mr.
John's on 4th July for the north. A base line was laid out at Noddy's Harbour, and the latitude of Cape Norman was found to be 51 degrees 39 minutes North; soundings were taken every mile. On 3rd August Cook left the ship in the cutter to continue his work, but having met with a nasty accident he had to return on the 6th.
"Doesn't Noddy look for all the world like a sleepy child who has to get up for school, but who hates to be disturbed!" laughed Anne, as Noddy's tousled head bobbed up and down while she sniffed the air redolent with oatmeal. Satisfied that something was cooking for her breakfast, Noddy ran over and nozzled at the girls, who laughed and tried to push her cold nose away.
Eleanor failed to hear her sister's selfish remark, for she was driving her burro closely upon Noddy's heels. Anne was so impatient at Barbara that she urged her horse after Eleanor to keep herself busy. "Good gracious! Am I to sit here alone and freeze!
Even with this precaution, and aided as they were by the chains on the rear wheels, the red car skidded or slewed so that Jerry thought it was going over. But it did not. By the narrowest margin it kept on the bank. Not so, however, with Noddy's green dragon. As soon as his car struck the turn it began to skid.
But he shook and seemed completely broken up with fear and the shock of the fall. "Dear little Choko!" purred Polly, jumping from Noddy's back and softly patting the burro's woolly face. The burro affectionately nosed Polly, who gazed quickly at what she thought to be a pit back of the little beast. She gasped in wonderment and went to the dark hole.
