"All right," replied the boys as they pulled away from the yacht,
"we shall be glad to see you anytime."
Giving three blasts of her whistle as a farewell salute the Dart
resumed her course up the river,
"Who were the boys?" asked Mrs. Whilden a little later. "I want to
reward them."
"Why I don't know," replied Mr. Whilden. "I clear forgot to get
their names, after all."
"Well, I mean to find out for my own account," said Frank. "They
are worth knowing."

before we go ashore?" asked Rand, when the Dart had gone.
"Why," asked Jack, "there's enough, ain't there?"
"There was," allowed Rand, "but it is a good deal later now."
"I think we had better go on," said Jack laughingly. "There is a
good place I can see. That strip of beach over there is a natural
landing place."
"And a green spot back of it that would make a dandy place for a
camp," added Pepper.
