"Very good-- very good!" he commended. "I must write that down. Hank
Lefferton was over setting eel pots on the island last night, and he
said he seen it."

"Yep. Chains and all."

They had written some souvenir cards, which they mailed, and again
they went sailing about Rainbow Lake.

Several days passed. The girls went on little trips, on picnics,
cruised about and spent delightful hours in the woods. They thoroughly
enjoyed the camp, and the "ghost" did not annoy them. Mollie waited
anxiously for news from home, but none came.
