"Help!" screamed the doctor's son. He was not yet fully awake.
"Wha—-what's the matter?" spluttered Snap, throwing aside his blanket.
"What's wrong?" came from Whopper and Giant simultaneously.
"Something—-a wild animal—-in here—-jumped over me!" gasped
Shep. "It just went outside!"
"Oh, you are dreaming, Shep," said Snap.
"No, I'm not. I saw it—-felt it! Let me get my gun!"
The doctor's son threw off his blanket, leaped up and grasped his shotgun, that hung on one of the tent poles. He stepped to the opening of the tent and peered out anxiously.
"See anything?" demanded Whopper. He and the others were now up, and each was arming himself.
"N—-no."
"I told you you were dreaming," came from Snap.
