There's another! and another! and another!" The Panther and Obed now saw the black specks also. The three stopped on the crest of a swell and watched them attentively. "One! two! three! four! five! six! seven! eight! nine! ten! eleven! twelve! thirteen!" counted the far-sighted boy.
He seems clear-headed and far-sighted, and his belief is that the conference will really do something of value for arbitration.
