"Never mind about that, fellows," Frank observed, after laughing heartily at the quaint remark; "what we want to do just now is to make Moogs here as comfortable as we can, and then try to get some rest. All of us are tired, and we've still a mile and a half to cover."
He seemed to be very grateful, and constantly assured them that their kindness would never be forgotten, and that he would only too gladly repay them if ever it lay in his power. The small boy, Sandy Moogs, crouched alongside his father and seemed happy just to know that everything was moving along in a satisfactory way. Frank was more concerned about the weather than anything else.
"I'm Sandy Moogs my dad's a woodchopper workin' now up yonder 'bout three miles tree fell on him broke his leg, he reckons in a heap o' pain can't hardly crawl knowed you-uns was at Cabin Point sent me to git help he sez as how he'll bleed to death by mawnin' if he ain't helped I hopes as how you'll kim along with me he's my dad, you know!"
To be caught afoot in the woods far from camp by one of those drenching rains was bad enough; but it meant a terrible risk to poor Moogs should he be soaked through while suffering from such a wound. Still the time passed and there was no particular change in conditions. So long as he could see the stars Frank needed no watch to know the hour.
The four exchanged looks when this pitiful story was unfolded in gasps. It was a foregone conclusion that they would go, for never had the Outdoor Chums rejected an appeal for assistance. "Of course we'll all go, Frank!" Bluff was saying, almost before the boy who had given his name as Sandy Moogs finished speaking.
They pushed quickly on, increasing their pace if anything, such was the anxiety they were now beginning to share with poor Sandy Moogs, the woodchopper's son. "I see him!" cried sharp-sighted Jerry. "There, he waved his hand at us, Sandy, so you see he's all right!" added Frank, only too glad of the opportunity to relieve the pent-up feelings of the dutiful son of the injured man.
Besides, the sooner Moogs was placed under the care of an experienced surgeon the better. Frank did not want to be responsible for the consequences any more than seemed absolutely necessary.
