"Lots of folks get stuck on that bar," went on the man, who was bringing his boat into a position favorable for giving aid to the Gem. "It ought to be buoyed, or marked in some way. You're strangers around here, I take it," he went on. "Yes, from Mr. Stonington's orange grove," said Betty, simply. "If you will kindly pull us off this bar we will gladly pay you for your trouble."
"She'll be glad to see you and make you a cup of tea. Sue!" he called, "take care of Mr. Stonington's girls!" and a woman appearing in the doorway waved a friendly greeting to the chums. Over the teacups, in a cleaner and neater cabin than one would suspect it to be from a glance at the outside, the girls told of their trip. Mrs.
Stonington's orange grove, and if we told him you needed help " "No, no!" interrupted the youth, glancing about him nervously. "It isn't that kind of help. I am trying to help someone else. I I can't tell you. But I must be getting on. And will you do me a favor?" he asked suddenly. "Of course!" cried Betty. "We will be only too glad to, since you did so much for us.
"McFadden with his army now moved to the left, by Ross Mills, across Chatham River and down to De Kalb by way of Stonington's Mountain.

The whole army was now safely across the river and moving in the direction of Gate City.
There was a note pinned to her baby dress or, rather an envelope that had contained a note, and this was addressed to Mrs. Stonington. Amy's mother was Mrs. Stonington's aunt, though the two had not seen each other in many years. Whether Amy's parents perished in the flood, as seemed likely, or what became of them, was never known, nor was it known whether there were any other children. But Mr.
Stonington's relative had disappeared. "But I've got folks at last real folks, even if it is only one," said Amy, with a loving look at her brother, who regarded her affectionately.

"Do you think you could pilot this boat to Mr. Stonington's place?" asked Mollie with much anxiety. "Yes, Miss, I could. I know my way all around these waters. I can take you there. But we ought to help him help Tom and the other one. I promised I'd come for you." "Then tell us where Tom is who has him how did he come to send you for us who is 'the other one'?" Betty questioned thus rapidly.
