It happened one day from the simple cause that the camp had run short of bread, and one of the youngsters from the Pacific coast, Freddy by name, had volunteered to paddle over to the mainland for it. The sailboat being laid up for repairs, Freddy ran out the light little Peterborough, and was just getting away from the island when Hal descried him and shouted to him to wait.
"Yes," said the sailboat maker quickly, "he's religious, all right, only he reads the Bible for others, not for himself." "What do you mean by that?" "Why, he wants to run things, that's what. As long as you agree with Elihu, why, everything's all right. When you don't, the Bible's against you. That's the way he is." "Did he ever disagree with you?"
Captain Travis and his secretary crossed the continent without adventure, and took passage from San Francisco on the first steamer that touched at Octavia. They reached that island in three days, and learned with some concern that there was no regular communication with Opeki, and that it would be necessary to charter a sailboat for the trip.
"I need thy condor's vision now as never before. Take the swift, small sailboat, and flares; follow the sloop as long as thy eyes can pick her out; we shall follow thy flares in the schooner until we overtake thee. Haste now; Rufe has grace enough!" Milo stayed only to get his flare-powder and tinder-box, then disappeared down the cliff.
But if you really loved the sea you wouldn't care you wouldn't care, just so you could be rocked to sleep by it at night, and wake to hear it ripple against the sides of the boat " "Gee " said Tommy, open-mouthed at this outburst. "Tommy," said Launcelot, with a glance at Judy's excited face and at the trembling hands that could scarcely fasten her hair, "you don't know a sailboat from a scow."
"Nix on the luxuries," interrupted Perry. "The simple life for me. Let's hire an old moth-eaten sailboat " "Nothing doing, Sweet Youth! If I'm to risk my life on the heaving ocean I want something under me. Besides, being seasick is rotten enough, anyhow, without having to roll around in the cock-pit of a two-by-twice sailboat. That cruiser listens well, Steve, but um will papa fall for it?
"To be sure." "Couldn't it be possible that they got on the Dora too?" "It's possible." Sam mused for a moment. "That sailboat story might have been a fake." He called Dick and Mr. Livingstone to him and repeated what Captain Starr had said. "Such a thing is possible," said Dick. "But we have no proofs."
"You'll take us out on the water before your leave is over, won't you?" urged Belle. "A dozen of times, if you care to go," Dave; replied quickly. "In a sailboat?" quizzed Belle. "It must; be great fun to sail, and I've never been in a sailboat." "I'd rather take you out in a good, solid rowboat," Dave answered slowly. "Why, haven't you had much sailboat practice at Annapolis yet?"
Joe, who had applied oil to every part of the engine that he could reach, supplied the added information that a sailboat under way on the starboard tack had the right of way over anything afloat with the possible exception of a torpedo! and that other craft had to turn to port in passing them.
"I shall keep you; look sharp now after your own disinterestedness." I wanted to go to my room, as I thought it time to arrange my trunks and boxes; besides, I needed rest the sad luxury of reaction. But word was brought to the house that Arthur had disappeared, in company with two boys notorious for mischief. His teacher was afraid they might have put out to sea in a crazy sailboat.
