"I know I will see," said Kernel Cob. "Only I am going to escape from here the first thing I can." "Don't you dare," said Sweetclover. "Why not," said Kernel Cob, "don't you want to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather?" "Not any more," said Sweetclover with a smile. "Girl dolls, especially flowers, are the silliest things in the world," said Kernel Cob.
"I wish I had wings," sighed Sweetclover, "and could fly all over the world. It would be so wonderful." "We will rest to-night," said the bird, "and try to find the motheranfather of Jackie and Peggs to-morrow." "You will be too tired," said Sweetclover. "Oh, no," said the Condor. "You can have no fear. I will be all right. When I say I do something I do that. I never...."
"My friends and I," said Kernel Cob, "are looking for the South Pole, where we hope to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather, and I thought maybe you could help us." But not one of them answered him for they didn't know what he had said. "I guess tin soldiers are deaf," said he. "No, they're not," said a voice behind him, "only these are Italians and do not understand English."
"What's all this about?" said a strange voice, and looking about quickly, they saw a sea-horse riding up to them. "I am very glad to see you," said Kernel Cob. "You're just in time to give us a lift on our journey." "With pleasure," whinnied the sea-horse. "And where might you be going?" "To find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," said Sweetclover.
"It's Kernel Cob and Sweetclover!" shouted Jackie and Peggs together, and in a jiffy they had them in their arms. And they all had a wonderful party of ice cream and cakes and puddings and candies, the best party ever you saw. "This is the happiest day of my life," said Father. "It is indeed," said Mother. "I never thought I could be so happy," said Peggs. "You bet," said Jackie.
"I'd like Kernel Cob to be a great general," said Jackie as he put up the parasol, "and fight in all the wars of the world and lead his soldiers with a sword in his hand and get wounded and all that. Not very much wounded, though. Or I'd like to have him be an Admiral and sail all around the world. What do you think of that?" "That's good," said Peggs. "You bet," said Jackie.
"We're looking for Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," answered Kernel Cob, "and we believe they are up here near the North Pole. Are we far away from it?" "About a hundred miles or so," said Wak Wak, for that was the cub's name. "Goodness," said Sweetclover, "how are we ever going to walk so far in this dreadful cold."
"Jackie's motheranfather are the same as Peggs'," explained Sweetclover. "Doesn't everybody have his own motheranfather?" asked Kernel Cob. "Not always," says Sweetclover. "Why?" asks Kernel Cob. "Please keep quiet," said Sweetclover, "I can't hear what they are saying." "If our mother and father are lost," says Peggs, "why doesn't Auntie try to find them?" "I wish she would," says Jackie.
"Oh, Kernel Cob!" she cried, "what is it. Are you hurt?" "Oh," he sobbed, "if it weren't for me, maybe we would have found out all about Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather, and maybe the Magician would have showed us how to get there," and he cried as if his heart would break. And they sat upon the raft and talked it all over, what was to be done, and how they were to do it.
"Well," said Jackie Tar, "there isn't a trick which they can't do. Once I saw them make a little boy run up a long pole and when he came to the top he disappeared." "You mean to say they can do that?" asked the Villain. "They sure can," answered Jackie Tar. "And my idea is this: If they can do that, maybe they can show you where Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather are."
