CHAPTER I
PUSHING OFF
"Oh, Cora! Isn't this perfectly splendid!" exclaimed Bess Robinson.
"Delightful!" chimed in her twin sister, Belle.
"I'm glad you like it," said Cora Kimball, the camp hostess. "I
felt that you would, but one can never be sure--especially of Belle.
Jack said she would fall a prey to that clump of white birches over
there, and would want to paint pictures on the bark. But I fancied
she would take more surely to the pines; they are so strong--and,
like the big boys--always to be depended on. But not a word about
camp now. Something more important is on. My new motor boat has
just arrived!"
"Has it really?" This as a duet.
"And truly," finished Cora with a smile. "Yes, it has, and there is
not a boy on the premises to show me how to run it. Jack expected
to be here, but he isn't. So now I'm going to try it alone. I
never could wait until evening to start my new boat. And isn't it
lovely that you have arrived in time to take the initial run? I
remember you both took the first spin with me in my auto, the
Whirlwind, and now here you are all ready for the trial performance
of the motor boat. Now Belle, don't refuse. There is absolutely no
danger."
"But the water," objected the timid Belle.
