We'll give you a handkerchief to cover your hands, if you're so d d delicate about walking through the streets," said Dunn, throwing him an old red handkerchief, and marching him along through Broad street. Dusenberry now left him entirely in the charge of Dunn; while, as he said, he went to Adger's Wharf to keep his eye on another vessel that was approaching the dock.
After going completely round the borders of the clearing they had gathered only half a basketful. Kate then proposed that they should go on to another opening at Adger's lumber camp, on a brook near the foot of Stoss Pond. She had been there the winter before with Theodora, and both of them remembered having seen mitchella growing there.
When we reached Dunham's open, however, and got no answer to our shouts, we became anxious. At last we found their tracks leading up the winter road to Adger's camp, and we hurried along the old trail. We had not gone more than half a mile when Tom, who was ahead, suddenly cried, "Hark! I heard some one calling!" We stopped to listen; and after a moment or two we all heard a distant cry.
It was partly the bitter weather, I think, but Addison and I felt so cross that we could hardly trust ourselves to speak. "I'll put you up a nice, big lunch," Theodora said, trying to cheer us. "And I do hope that you will find him at the Old Slave's Farm, or over at Adger's camp. If you do, you may all be back by night."
"They are probably heading for the Old Slave's Farm, or for Adger's lumber camp. Let them go. They'll be sick to death of it in a week." I felt much the same about it; but grandmother and Theodora were not a little disturbed. Ellen, however, sided with Addison. "Halse will be back by to-morrow night," she said. "He and Alfred will have a spat by that time."
"They haven't gone to Adger's, for that is east from here. I'll tell you! They went to Boundary Camp on Lurvey's Stream. And that's eighteen or nineteen miles from here." He glanced at the sky. "Now, what shall we do? It will snow to-night." "Perhaps we could get up there by dark," said I. For a moment Addison considered. "All right!" he exclaimed. "It's a long jaunt. But come on!"
