Moose-tracks had been seen in the vicinity, and it had been with the hope of practically substantiating the discovery that the two elders had started off that morning. The boys' first consideration was that of dinner. "Let's go into the woods and see what we can find!" Bob Arnold suggested to his chum, after they had watched the canoe disappear round a bend of the river.
He kept his eyes open for big game, but though he found moose-tracks at the corner of Broadway and Nineteenth he ran into nothing more formidable than a lynx which snarled at him from a tree overhanging the mournful ruins of the Farragut monument. One shot sent it bounding and screaming with pain, out of view. Stern noted with satisfaction that blood followed its trail.
The desired water was not in view yet; but the bog gave way to fairer, firmer ground, covered with waving grasses, studded with rising knolls, and having no timber growth, save stray clumps of birches and hemlocks, several hundred yards apart. "Now, this is jolly!" exclaimed Dol. "This looks a little bit like an English lawn, only I'm afraid it's not a likely place for moose-tracks.
We saw during our morning peregrinations many old moose-tracks, and also many spots in the woods where these animals had browsed; while a few of these moose indications were certainly of recent origin.
"And I know we'll see moose-tracks before we get back to camp!" wound up the young pleader passionately. "I've been working up to it all day. I mean I've felt as if something something fine was going to happen, which would make a ripping story for the Manchester fellows when we go home. Do let me have one chance, Cy, one fair and honest chance!"
