other kind that lives in this big lake, why, our hats will soon be too
small for our enlarged craniums."

"Oh! we can afford to take the chances of that!" laughed Allan.

As the wind had gone down, and the waves with it to a considerable
extent, it was decided that they might make a start after an early
lunch. Thad consulted his Government Survey charts, and marked a place
that he believed would make them a good harbor, and which they ought to
reach with any reasonable luck.

This being settled they got underway about half-past eleven; and when
the little cruiser left the shelter of the cove, and once more breasted
the rising and falling waves, Bumpus shook his head dismally, and loudly
hoped he would not once more have to spend all his time feeding the
fishes. But his fears proved groundless, for they had apparently become
used to the motion of the waves, and not one of them became seasick
again that day.




CHAPTER XIII

UP AGAINST IT AGAIN


"Everything is lovely, and the goose hangs high! This makes the fifth
day since we started out; and things seem to be going along right
smoothly at the old stand, don't they, fellows?"
