Jack was glad the tables were turned, and he joined in the general laugh.
"Oh, go to thunder, the whole of you!" roared Browning, as he again flopped over in his berth.
"What would we do with the girls?" asked Hodge. "We have not sufficient room on the boat to accommodate them here, and——"
"There must be some sort of a hotel at Green's Landing," said Diamond, quickly. "Of course, Miss Gale, Inza's aunt, would go along as chaperon."
"Well, it would be a change from Bar Harbor," said Frank. "This place is too much like all other fashionable seaside resorts to suit me, and still I do not feel like running away and leaving the girls. They would think it a mean trick if we were to do so so soon."
"Perhaps they won't go," said Hodge, who did not seem much in favor of the project.
"Well, we can ask them," spoke up Diamond, quickly.
"I am to see Inza this evening, and I'll find out about it," said Frank. "If they can go, we want to get away bright and early to-morrow, providing there is a breeze."
