"How does the discovery of my cousin come in?" Hal inquired. "Is that
geography or mathematics?"

"Do you mean that, Hal?" asked Bud wonderingly. "You don't mean that
fellow is really your cousin?"

"I surely do, if he's Alvin Baker. You know my folks used to live in
Canada. And don't you remember that my cousin Al visited us three years
ago with his father and mother? He wrote to me several times from Edwards
College, but I didn't know he had a wireless set, and I suppose he didn't
know I had one."

"Well, it makes the hunt more interesting, anyway," said Cub. "But let's
not waste any more time. Here goes again."

He called the other Canadian amateur on his list of three and learned
from him that many wireless boys had followed the course of the rescue
boat with their receiving outfits. From him Cub got the calls of four of
these interested boys. Then he called the third on his original list, but
all the information the latter was able to give was that a metropolitan
morning newspaper carried a column "story" on the front page about the
Thousand Island Crusoe and the rescue boat from Oswego.

"You're right again, dad," said Cub, with a grim grin of subdued wonder
and eagerness.

"I shouldn't be a bit surprised to find that the Associated Press has
chartered a boat and is following us," declared Mr. Perry.

"Would that be mathematics or geography?" asked Bud.
