"Every scout will carry a lantern, with which we have practiced signal wig-wagging until we are able to send messages back and forth. Besides that, we can form a long line across the woods, and comb nearly every bit of it, looking into every stack of brush and waste to see if Willie has lain down. And mother, think if we should just find him, how glad you'd be that we went out!"
A light touch on his knee some time later snapped George Hanlon's eyes wide open, and he looked down to see a small, wriggly dog looking up into his face, its tail frantically wig-wagging signals of proffered friendship, the little tongue making licking motions toward the hand the puppy could not quite reach.
You said that only two went down the mountain." "That was right," was the reply. "I don't see where the others can be." "Do you think they are officers?" asked Jimmie, as the men stumbled about the tents. "They aren't Mexicans." "I'm afraid they are officers," replied Fremont, "and we must keep pretty still. I presume these are the fellows who were wig-wagging a little while ago."
"Are those your tents?" he added, with a longing look at the soft blankets. "Sure," replied Jimmie. "Want to sleep? Go to it then. You're welcome." "You bet I will," said the drummer. He started for one of the tents and then turned back. "Did you see the wig-wagging awhile ago?" he asked. "Sure I did," was the reply.
But I had got quite well along, and was standing near the foremast wig-wagging a message to an imaginary pair of violet eyes for man can be silly and serious at one and the same time when a little puff of hot air struck my face. It was the second puff of this kind I had noticed. Gates now came up and joined me. "There's a howl of something coming, sir," he said.
Upon completing their task, Tom stood up for another view of the beach which they were approaching. "Look, Jack!" he cried. "Can you see the boy over there wig-wagging at us? Isn't that the Boy Scout wig-wag?" "Sure enough, it is!" declared Jack excitedly. "Take this flag and answer him. You're in a good place up there." He passed the flag up to Tom as he spoke.
Coming down from the terraces where they had been stationed, Grace and Cleo observed a handsome limousine drawn up to the curb where the occupants could have viewed the wig-wagging to advantage. "Oh, there's that lovely girl that was in the wheel-chair!" exclaimed Madaline. "I believe she would speak to us if she were near enough," commented Cleo. "What a stunning car!" added Madaline.
But after the committee had tested it, William calmly devoured the balance, to the tune of mingled groans and cheers. Last of all came the wig-wagging contest, when boys sent and received messages fashioned by the committee, the nature of which was unknown at the other end.
I thought it might be his party wig-wagging when I came here, provided it was not my associates. If he doesn't come pretty soon I'll return to our camp. The boys will be getting anxious over our long absence." Presently, while the two waited, a signal rocket came blazing out of the east, swept a wide curve in the sky, and dropped out of sight.
"I saw Chet wig-wagging a little while ago, and I answered and read his message. He is bringing over a gentleman from Albany a lawyer to see Professor Dimp and the young man who has been in hiding so long. I think something important is going to happen," said Laura, complacently. "Do let the Barnacle keep the sheriff up in that tree for a little while longer."
