This time, however, it was uttered in the shrill, piercing voice of Tad Butler himself, and the men back there by the camp fire started to their feet in sudden alarm while Ned Rector and Stacy Brown came tumbling from their tents in terrified haste. "What is it!

His quick side-throw was doubly effective, for the harpoon was buried in the back of the quarry, while Ned and Dick were buried in the water of the bay.

You two stay here," he said to the members of his crew. "We can't take any chances of all getting in the same accident if there should be one." A little later Tom, Ned, and Koku stood on the deck of the sunken craft. Much of what she had carried had been swept off, either in the explosions or by reason of currents generated by storms since the fatality.

Geisner shrugged his shoulders without answering. "Isn't it a pity that we can't co-operate right through in the same way?" said Ned.

There was no table cloth, no table, just the bare ground, and the boys sat down to eat in the fresh, bracing air.
