They landed in the lake with a splash and went floundering toward the small boat. Tommy climbed to the rail and hurled a pan at the beaten pirates. But in hurling the pan she lost her balance. "Thave me!" she screamed. Tommy plunged sideways from the rail, making a complete turn in the air, landing in the lake with a mighty splash.
Miss Elting was trying to soothe her. Harriet adopted a different policy. "Tommy!" she cried sharply. "Oh, thave me! Thave me!" wailed the little tow-headed girl. "Do you want to drop clear to the bottom?" demanded Harriet. "No, oh, no! Thave me! I'll be good. I'll " "You'll be down there in a heap if you don't stop struggling. Listen to me!
They persisted in either rising or drifting away from the submerged automobile top. Tommy kept her hands moving slowly to assist in maintaining her equilibrium. "Wait until I return, if you will, please," answered Harriet. "Thave me! I can't wait. Here I go now!" She slipped off and went under, but came up sputtering and protesting.
Far above them Janus pointed out a little projection of rock that seemed no larger than a human hand. "That," said the guide, "is where we camp to-night," "Thave me!" wailed Tommy. "Keep going. We must reach the Sokoki Leap before dark," urged Janus.
"Thave me!" wailed Tommy. Jane suggested that Harriet ought to have a ducking, then one by one the girls dropped off to sleep. The clock that Harriet consulted showed the hour to be ten minutes after midnight. She had awakened suddenly, and with a feeling that something were not as it should be. The girl rose softly, peering through the window.
Why do you ask?" answered Miss Elting smilingly. "I jutht wanted to know. I'll walk, thank you, Mith Elting. You thay it ith a Democrat wagon?" "Yes, yes. What of it?" "I wouldn't ride in a Democrat wagon. My father would dithown me if I did! If it wath a Republican wagon, now, it would be all right but a Democrat wagon thave me!" "You surely are a loyal little Republican, Tommy.
"Thave me, oh, thave me!" moaned Tommy as they came up. But the plunge had done them good. It had shaken both girls wide awake and cleared their clouded minds. They once more had been awakened to a realization of their position. "It wathn't land at all! Let me go, let me die," insisted Tommy, struggling to free herself from Harriet's grasp. "It was a sand bar," explained Harriet.
The wind had not come up again, but a fresh, salty breeze was blowing over them, chilling the girls, sending shivers through their slender bodies. "Oh, what thhall we do?" sobbed Grace. "What can we do to thave ourthelveth?" "I don't know, Tommy. About all we can do is to keep up our courage and wait for daylight.
"Quick, girls!" shouted Miss Elting. "Thave me!" screamed Tommy Thompson. Harriet opened her eyes in time to see Janus running rapidly from the camp, firing his revolver at every jump. After his second shout of warning he was not heard to speak again.
"Did you sail over here so early in the morning to call on us?" questioned Harriet innocently. "No, we are camping over there." "Oh! Then you came over to be near us? Isn't that fine?" laughed Crazy Jane. "We we thought may maybe the fishing was better over here," replied George lamely. "Oh, thave me!" muttered Tommy, then fled into the cabin that they might not observe her laughter.
