"Just listen to the rain!" exclaimed Joe. "We didn't get here any too quick."
It was a hard shower, and at the end of half an hour it was raining as steadily as ever. With the coming of the shower the wind at first died down, but now it came up stronger than before, whistling furiously through the pines and bringing many a decayed branch down with a loud crash.
"If we were out in this we'd be wet to the skin," remarked Frank. "Even as it is, some water is coming in here."
"Let us start up the fire," suggested Link. "It will make it more cheerful."
"Do you imagine there are any wild animals around here?" questioned Frank.
"More than likely—I don't think we killed all of them last winter," answered Harry with a grin. "Wouldn't you like to meet a wildcat, or a big bear?"
"Not much!"
"What a pity somebody didn't bring a gun along," came from Fred. "We may need it for protection, or for bringing down some food."
"I've got a fishing line and some hooks in my pocket," said Frank.
