"We will surely have to explore those parts, Cleo, even if we do have to take a life saver's kit along with us." "And did you notice Weasle Point? Of course our fire-bug must belong somewhere out in that sand-bar, and just as much of course, we will have to find out all about the queer diggin's.
"Just see us leave Weasle Point behind," remarked Cleo, with a rather prolonged look at the green speck as it drifted away. "Wonder if Kitty is over there?" said Grace. "And Bentley," added Julia, not to deprive her chums of their usual joke that she never forgot Bentley. "And my Uncle Pete," insisted Grace. "Do you know, girls, Captain Dave says he was seriously stunned by that storm?"
Every few nights a fire breaks out and no one is able to discover the culprit." "And that note we found was a challenge. It was written for who ever might pick it up, and we happened to be the 'whoevers'" said Louise. "So it plainly seems like our duty to run down the Weasle."
Cleo promptly let the cork pop, yanked the string, and so dislodged the note. "I knew it," she exclaimed, "a message from the pirates. Listen to this!" Grace and Louise hopped back to hear the contents of the rolled slip of paper. "Short enough," commented Cleo. "It simply says, 'Beware of the fire-bug' and it's signed 'The Weasle'. Well, I never!
"And she insinuated that we made the beach fire," said Cleo indignantly. "Oh, that's pure nonsense, of course. But did you see how she acted when we asked her about the Weasle?" "Yes, she knows about that note, I'm sure," said Cleo. "But then she thinks she knows a lot of things. She certainly lives over on the Island, and so she couldn't very well start fires at night?"
One day, when Curly and Flop, the two piggie boys, had been at Uncle Wiggly's bungalow on Raccoon Island for some days, the old gentleman rabbit said to them: "Now, boys, I have to go down to the store, kept by Pop Goes the Weasle, to see about some butter and things for supper. Will you be afraid to stay here alone?" "Indeed we will not!" exclaimed Curly.
Beware of the fire-bug," she repeated, "and not a human in sight that fire-bug fires. And signing himself the Weasle! Must be pretty snappy. Well, I say girls, as early as we thought we were getting down, before all the other schools were dismissed, the little old fire-bug got here first. What do you make of it?"
Ready for the excursion to Weasle Point, Grace, Cleo, and Louise, garbed in their practical scout uniforms and armed with fishing rods and a lunch box, started off in time to take the River Queen on its first trip of the afternoon. A few other passengers embarked with the girls; a mother with a small son and daughter, two business men, and the boy with supplies for the island fruit stand.
"That's Weasle Point, sticks out into the bay and just west is the island; not more than a clump of trees on a few rocks, but big enough to stand the wear, so it is called Luna Land, but children make it Looney Land," he explained.
There is touch more generalisation than there used to be as to the sittings in our Parish Church; but "birds of a feather flock together" still. They are seated down the centre aisle; but the place is too demonstrative of their poverty. If half the seats were empty, situated excellently though they may be, you wouldn't catch any respectable weasle asleep on them.
