A man in th' editor's position ought to know, but he didn't, so he ast in th'pomes. An' th' advertisin', Hinnissy! I'd be scandalized f'r to go back readin' th' common advertisin' in th' vile daily press about men's pantings, an' DoesannyoneknowwhereIcangeta biscuit, an' In th' spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to Pocohontas plug, not made be th' thrusts.
That she was at least the one which had been anchored out in the bay was evident, for Tin-Back recognized her at once. Also it was evident that no visitors were desired, for, as the Pocohontas came up alongside the almost motionless sailing craft, an ugly face looked over the low rail, and a gruff voice cried: "That'll do, now. Keep off or you'll get into trouble! What do you want, anyhow?"
Then came a day when, as the four went down to see Old Tin-Back set off from the little dock in his dory to take up his lobster pots, they saw a motor boat heading into the bay. "Oh, if that should be the boys!" exclaimed Grace, hopefully. "They wrote they might come this week; didn't they?" "Yes," answered Betty. "What boat ye lookin' fer?" asked Tin-Back. "The Pocohontas," answered Amy.
She was interrupted by a shrill whistle, as if of some boat. Both girls turned quickly, and the same exclamation came to the lips of both. "The boys!" It was the Pocohontas approaching, and Allen, Roy and Henry waved their hands as they came on swiftly over the blue waters. "Are they in the boat?" asked Grace. "Who?" Mollie wanted to know. "Betty and Amy." "Why, how could they be?"
George and Martha Washington, with powdered hair and silver buckled shoes were the first guests to be greeted by the committee. Soon after them came Pocohontas, and a Quaker who was intended to be Elizabeth Fry, but who might have represented almost any member of the Society of Friends.
There was a station not six miles from Howlett's, but, for some reason, the mail bag was always brought from and carried to Pocohontas; Wesley Green requiring a whole day for a deliberate transit between the two points.
And so it proved when Allen went up on deck and held a short talk with an officer aboard the trim cutter, which had come to a stop alongside the motor boat and drifting schooner. Will, left behind at the cottage with Mrs. Nelson and Grace, had suddenly thought to send the cutter Minoa to follow up the Pocohontas.
"And in a motor boat, too!" added Roy. "If we only had ours," Henry mourned. But it was vain wishing. The Pocohontas was docked some distance away, and by the time the boys could reach her, and start an engine that was never noted for going without considerable "tinkering," it would be too late. For the men had luck on their side.
I'm going to have some, too, to eat on my roast pork!" and he looked hungrily at the two piggie boys. They were both too frightened to move, but the Indian maiden was brave. "Come! Come! Give me that jelly!" growled and grumbled the bear! "Then I'll take you piggie boys off to my den and make the Indian maiden cook you." "Oh, but I'll not do it!" said the Indian maiden whose name was Pocohontas.
The wind is right, and you can get the Pocohontas before she goes on the rocks." "She's got the idea," declared Allen, admiringly. "We can save our boat, if we hustle." "Then 'hustle'!" cried Betty, with a little blush, as she shook her head to rid her flashing eyes of raindrops. "Put us ashore at the dock, and save the Pocohontas." "But what will you do?" asked Allen.
