"I think it was a shout," answered Dave. "Maybe the others are calling to us."
"No, I think the call came from up on the cliff, Dave. Listen, there it is again!"
Both strained their ears and soon heard another cry. This time it was much closer.
"Stop! stop! let me alone!" Such were the words that floated to their ears. "Please don't hit me! Let me alone!"
Dave and Phil looked at each other curiously.
"Who can it be?" questioned the shipowner's son.
"I don't know, but I guess we had better try to find out," answered our hero.
