There was a hurried journey to the kitchen, to bid the servants "Good-bye." The buggy wheels scrunched the gravel before the hall door. The overseer coo-ee'd softly. "All aboard!" "All right, Evans!" Jim appeared in the doorway, staggering under a big Gladstone bag. Billy, similarly laden, followed. His black face was unusually solemn. "Chuck 'em in, Billy. Come on, you chaps!"
From far up faint calls and laughter still met her ears. It was evident that the boys were finding the water very much to their taste. "Duffers!" Norah ejaculated. "We'll have the loveliest soaking and Dad'll be anxious." She coo-ee'd several times, but no response came. Finally she rose, with a little wrinkle in her brow. "I guess I'd better saddle up," she said.
To the children it seemed an utter impossibility that Billy should ever find them, though they said nothing, and Jim obediently lifted up his voice and coo-ee'd in answer to the Hermit's words. For himself, Jim was free to confess he had quite lost his bearings, and the other boys were as much at sea as if they had suddenly been dropped down at the North Pole.
