Wondering what would happen, and not a little alarmed, the girls waited. Taken by surprise by the sudden rush of Mr. Hammond and his men those in charge of the Everglade camp, and the miserable creatures they held in virtual bondage, offered little resistance. There was neither time nor chance for any.
And beyond there is the loveliest meadow, all tender green now. Over there you can see the Everglade School, where I spend my days. The people are Swedes, mostly, operatives in the factories at Grand Crossing and on the railroads. Many of the children can scarcely understand a word of English, and their habits!
Possibly legging it down some rugged slope in the Rockies, with two bears and a wild cat in earnest pursuit. Possibly in the midst of some Florida everglade, making a noise like a piece of meat in order to snare crocodiles. Possibly in Canada, baiting moose-traps. We have no data." Silent consternation prevailed among the audience. Finally the Rev. Edwin T. Philpotts was struck with an idea.
Then in the morning, at daylight, we will start out with the canoe on our shoulders and tramp till we find water to float it." "But how about water to drink? I need it worse than the canoe." "Where there's water for the canoe, there will be water for you. It's Everglade water from now on." "I wish it would begin this minute. There's a little mud-hole that looks pretty wet.
Didn't you know I came from a camp out Everglade way? I was with one of the other girls from camp when I got lost," finished Dorothy quite helplessly. "Some folks don't call them places 'camps," Mrs. Hobbs ventured. "But of course the name ain't got anything to do with it." "What do they call them?" pressed Dorothy. "Oh, now, you never mind. You will be all right.
We suppose the girls, who did not go off together, met later somehow, and in trying to make their way back, got deeper into the woods." "And their folks from camp?" asked Dorothy. "We have not been to see them," said the young man, "but some of the boys there are friends of ours, and as soon as we have looked this place over, as well as we can do it, we are going up to Everglade.
I have always been interested in finding nests of birds, but I think no success in this line ever pleased me quite so much as the discovery of two pairs of Purple Martins making their nests one day in May, down on the edge of the Everglade country in south Florida.
In all her trouble she had kept the little watch and her compass, and just now it occurred to her that by consulting the magnetic instrument she could tell whether she was going in the direction of Everglade. She paused in her action to look at the trembling needle. "Yes, I am going toward camp due east." How lightly she paddled along!
"What is that?" The other girls looked. "Some sort of a raft," answered Mollie. "And someone is on it!" added Amy. "It's a man!" cried Grace. "A young man! Oh, maybe it's the one who escaped from the Everglade swamp. Hurry to him, Betty!" As she spoke the figure on the raft rose to his knees, and waved a hand at the girls.
Preston had tried before to drag himself out of the cottage, across the intervening lot, to the saloon on Stoney Island Avenue, whose immense black and gold sign he could see from his chamber. That must not happen here, in the neighborhood of the Everglade School.
