It was a struggle of wills for the mastery of a character, and Andy won at least the first "round." "I'm going with my friend," said Dunk firmly, and despite further protests he went out with his arm over Andy's shoulder. There were cries and appeals to remain, but Dunk heeded them not. "I'm going to quit," he announced. "Had enough fun for to-night."
Turtle, and occasionally dugong, favour the vicinity of Wooln-garin which on account of its distinctive character is one of the most frequented of the satellites. The neighbouring islands include Timana, 2 1/2 miles from the sand-spit of Dunk Island and 1 1/2 mile from Kumboola.
What has been said of the natural features of Dunk Island is applicable to the coastal tract extending, say, 300 miles, than which no land is more fertile. A very notable advantage is enjoyed here.
Andy and Dunk went back to their room, to do some necessary studying. On their way they stopped in the Yale branch postoffice. There was a letter from home for Andy, and when he had read it he uttered such an exclamation that Dunk asked: "Any bad news?" "Yes, but not for me," replied Andy. "This is from my mother. She writes that Mr.
"No sir never again!" said Dunk that evening, as he got out his books. "You hear me, Andy never again!" "That's the way to talk!" It was hard work at Yale. No college is intended for children, and the New Haven University in particular has a high aim for its students. Andy "buckled down," and was doing well.
He was telling Dunk about the incident, when his roommate came in a little later, and they were discussing the queer coincidence, when Pulter came bursting in. "Oh, I say!" he cried. "I've got my book back! What do you know about that? It was on my table, and " He stopped and looked queerly at Andy and Dunk, who were smiling. "What's the joke?" demanded Pulter. "Did you fellows "
He looked around to see Ikey holding out a package. One in the other hand was offered to Dunk. "The socks," spoke the student salesman, simply. "Say, give us time to get into our clothes!" demanded Andy. "Do you think we carry cash in our uniforms?" "I didn't want you to forget," said Ikey, with a grin. "There is another fellow taking up my business now, and I've got to hustle if I want the trade.
The instant Withem set eyes on the prisoner he uttered an exclamation under his breath, while the prisoner glared up at him with menacing eyes. "Hullo, Dunk," greeted the Ranger. "You seem to be in limbo. I reckon you bit off more'n you could chew, for once in your life. Thought you were shooting up Rangers, did you? Instead you barked up against some tenderfeet who were too much for you.
The two chums strolled through the lighted streets, which were much more lively than usual on account of the celebration of the football victory. But Andy and Chet paid little heed to the bustle and confusion about them. When Andy got back to his room, after bidding Chet good-bye, Dunk had not come in. Andy lay awake some time waiting for him, wondering what he would say when he did come in.
"It sounds sort of mean," spoke Andy, doubtfully; "but I suppose if we have to have a trap that would be the best way to do it." "Then let's get busy," suggested Dunk. "He may not come to-night after all. We may have to watch for several nights. Meanwhile we'd better telephone the lawyer that we're on a new lead."
