Harry Donnelle went over and
saw for himself how it was, and then he came back and said to me that as
long as there seemed to be plenty of fish I needn't bother about meat, but
that I'd better go and see if I could scare up some more mosquito dope and
some sinkers for fishing and a trowel to dig bait with, because if we liked
the place we might stay there till noon the next day. That's the best way
on a long hike-take it easy.
"How about Charlie Seabury?" I said; "he doesn't like fish."
"All right, get him a couple of chops, then," Harry said; "now can you
remember all the things you're going to get? Mosquito dope, fishing
sinkers, a writing pad and some stamps, and let's see--"
"Some crackers," I said.
"Righto," he shouted after me.
CHAPTER VI
I DISCOVER SOME TRACKS
I went back through the woods and when I got to the road I noticed how it
curved, and just then I saw a very narrow path on the opposite side of the
road that led into the woods. I decided it must be a short cut to the
village. So I started along that path.
Pretty soon the woods grew very thick and it wasn't so easy to follow the
trail, because it was all overgrown with bushes.
