So that's how the Indian maiden saved the piggie boys from the bear, and they gave her more jelly and thanked her, and then, using a long thorn instead of a hat pin, which the bear carried off in his nose, Pocohontas went off looking for more jelly, and Curly and Flop went to asleep.
"A motor boat broken loose from its mooring," answered Roy. "And if it isn't the Pocohontas I miss my guess!" added Amy's brother. "That's right!" declared Allen. "John's repair shop is in this cove. He must have anchored her out, and the storm tore her loose. He evidently doesn't know it." "Well, we know it!" cried Will, "and she'll be on those rocks in a few minutes more. See!
Nelson insisted on Will and his chums remaining there, though they said they wanted to camp out, or sleep aboard the Pocohontas. But the quarters there were rather cramped. One day, when the boys were coming back in the boat with the girls, the engine suddenly stopped while they were still a short distance from the dock. "Hello! What's up? Trouble?" asked Roy.
"Will you be sorry?" returned Allen, meaningly. "You know I shall. I do so enjoy the water," she answered with a little blush and a bright glance. "You sha'n't miss anything," he declared. "I'll charter a sailboat while the Pocohontas is laid up." And this he did, arranging with Old Tin-Back for the hire of a catboat that would hold all the party.
Take my word for it, the girls are aboard her. Pete and his woman Mag haven't gone off together for nothin'. The girls are on the Spud, and bad luck to her for a sneaky craft!" "There's no time to lose!" he went on. "We've got to take after 'em, and locate her before nightfall. We need a fast boat " "The Pocohontas is in good trim!" interrupted Allen. "The very thing!" cried Tin-Back. "Hurray!
She gets over big in foreground stuff. Rides like a whirlwind, and as for dramatic work, she can put it over half the leading women in the business that is, in her line of Pocohontas stuff." "Well, why don't you let her stay?" Weary demanded. "She will anyway mama! We're not what you can call over-run with women on this job." "Why don't you make a squaw-man outa Dave?"
The Queene of Appamatuck was appointed to bring him water to wash his hands, and another brought him a bunch of feathers, in stead of a Towell to ry them: having feasted him after their best barbarous manner they could, a long consultation was held, but the conclusion was, two great stones were brought before Powhatan; then as many as could layd hands on him, dragged him to them, and thereon laid his head, and being ready with their clubs, to beate out his braines, Pocohontas, the King's dearest daughter, when no intreaty could prevaile, got his head in her armes, and laide her owne vpon his to saue him from death: whereat the Emperour was contented he should liue to make him hatchets, and her bells, beads, and copper; for they thought him aswell of all occupations as themselues.
It isn't more than a mile or two, and we haven't done very much walking lately." "Well, we'll see what happens," spoke Allen, anxious to get out to the Pocohontas, which was dangerously near the rocks. The girls paused on the dock a moment, to watch the boys beating back out over the bay, and then turned to go up the beach. They had never been on this part of the coast before.
This is like old times! I'm with you!" and he clapped his hand on his thigh with a report like a pistol shot. "To the rescue!" he cried. "All aboard!" It was the tense voice of Allen Washburn calling, as he and his chums clambered aboard the Pocohontas.
They were to take their lunch, and spend the day on the beach, or in the scrubby woods, not far away, taking to a boat if they felt so inclined. The boys had offered to take them out for a cruise in the Pocohontas, but the girls felt that they would rather be by themselves on this occasion. Accordingly lunch baskets had been packed and now this glorious summer morning they were about to start.
