“Is this your boat?” asked the man on board, in return.

“No, but my friends were on that boat. Where are they?”

“Left the boat at Snog’s Point, and hired me to bring her back. I don’t know much about motor-boats, so I’m running kind o’ slow,” explained the man.

“Snog’s Point?” repeated Roger. “Where were they going?”

“Don’t ask me, for I don’t know. They was in a tremenjous hurry, I know that. It’s all right, ain’t it?” went on the man, quickly.

“Oh, yes, it was all right,” answered Dave. And then they allowed the man to go on his way.

“There is the motor-boat now!”—Page 186.

“Want to go up to Snog’s Point?” asked the man of the sloop.
