"Preston High School beat Gridley High School by several lengths!" "Hardly that," Dick retorted coolly. "Preston High School merely distanced some boys from Gridley High School.

"Because, if you recall all the chat we had last night, the 'Scalp-hunter's' crew isn't yet official.
Hartwell evidently wanted a wholly fair race, for he even allowed the "Scalp-hunter's" prow the lead of a couple of feet before he shouted: "Go it!"

Gridley gained two feet more.
From Dave back to Dick all six bent their full strength and wind to the task of making the "Scalp-hunter" dart over the water. It was a grueling, killing pace that Dick had set for his crew, but it did not need to last long. The finish line was close at hand. Hartwell saw the "Scalp-hunter's prow steal up on a level with the centre of his own canoe.
