"
"Where has she gone?" asked Donald.
"I don't see anything of her," said Rand, who was standing in the
bow of the boat intently watching for any sign of the girl. "Yes,
there she is." A pale face had appeared for a moment on the surface.
"Straight ahead, boys!"
As the boat came to the spot where he had seen her Rand made a long
dive overboard, coming up a moment later with the inanimate body
of the girl. He was joined almost immediately by Donald, who had
followed him overboard, and so aided him in supporting her until
Pepper and Jack had reached them with the boat.
It required no little effort on the part of the boys to get the
helpless girl into the boat, but it was finally done, and they rowed
back to the assistance of the others. The other girl was helped
from the overturned canoe, to which she was clinging, into their
boat which was now loaded to its full capacity.
"Never mind me," called the man, who was about twenty-two or three
years old, "I can hold on behind until we get ashore!"
"Is she alive?" asked the other girl, as she was helped into the
boat, looking fearfully at the girl lying in the stern.
