"I do not believe it. This is some trick!" burst out the girl.
"I want you to put me on shore again."

"You can't go ashore now," answered Baxter.

"Ease her off, Goss."

"Right you are," answered Bill Goss. "What's the course now?"

"Straight down the lake."

"All right."

"You are not going to take me down the lake!" cried Dora in
increased alarm.

"Yes, we are."

"I - I won't go!"

"I don't see how you are to help yourself," responded Baxter
roughly.

"Dan Baxter, you are a brute!"

"If you can't say anything better than that, you had better say
nothing!" muttered Baxter.

"I will say what I please. You have no right to carry me off in
this fashion!"
