“Nobody seems to know.”
“Did they drift away?”
“I think not. Mr. Strong and myself saw that they were tied up last evening.”

“And forgot to tie them fast afterwards,” suggested Dale.
“Or else they hid the boats just for fun,” said Pepper.
Jack looked at his friends questioningly.
“See here, boys, please remember that I am the major at this encampment,” he began, seriously.
“We know it, Jack,” said Andy, quickly. “I, for one, know nothing of the boats.”
