As the report rang out the oars of the three crews, all like a piece of accurate machinery, struck the water at the same instant and the boats leaped forward as if shot from a spring. At the start the weight of the Alton crew told, and their boat darted to the front, only to be hugged a moment later by Highpoint, while the Uncas trailed just behind them. "Easy, boys, easy," cautioned Gerald.
"Just returned from delivery of the message to the Highpoint Scouts," finally answered the boy when he was afforded an opportunity to speak. "Highpoint! Why, we went to Highpoint!" cried Rand, "and you had not been there. Which way did you go?" "Don't know," replied the messenger.
"All right," replied Rand. "Are there any further additions or amendments? If not, I will declare it approved as read." "Now, who will volunteer to carry it to Highpoint?" "I will!" cried Dick. "I will make the attempt," announced Donald. "Lave it to me," said Gerald. "I'll take it," responded Jack. "I ought to be the one," pleaded Pepper. "You know I am not in the race."
The paper which Nat had brought and which Rand had opened, ran: "To the Uncas Patrol, Greeting: "The Highpoint Patrol, of the Boy Scouts, hereby challenges the Uncas Patrol to a contest for the Scout championship of the Hudson, to be rowed by crews selected from said patrols, at such time and place as may be hereafter agreed upon. "HIGHPOINT PATROL. JACK DUDLEY, Leader. TOM BROWN, Corporal."
"The upper road," replied Rand. The boys acted upon the suggested and proceeded along the road, slowly at first, then more rapidly as their comrade did not appear. They had covered more than half the distance to Highpoint. "Listen!" said Jack suddenly, as they stopped for a moment. "What is that?" Faint and far in the distance sounded what seemed like a bugle call.
