"Oh, it must be ahead of us," insisted the doctor's son.
"All right—-you come up and locate it," grumbled Snap.
Shep came up and so did Whopper, and all three of the lads gazed longingly, first in one direction and then in another. Nothing but what Snap had mentioned greeted their eyes.
"Boys, we are lost!" cried Whopper.
"Oh, no, we're not lost—-we are here," answered Snap. "The camp is lost."
"It's the same thing—-so far as we are concerned."
"I think that is Firefly Lake," said Shep, pointing to a hazy spot in the distance. "And if it is, then our camp may lay around on the upper side of this mountain."
"That may be true."
"Shall we try to walk it?"
"Might as well, Shep. We don't want to stay here all night."
