“That’s the idea!” called out Fred. “Andy, you’re the best monkey of the bunch. Let me give you a boost up this tree.”
Andy was willing to go up the tree mentioned, and in a moment several of the others had given him a lift to the lower branches, and up he went hand over hand until he was almost at the top of the tree.
“We’re heading in the right direction,” he called down. “The lake isn’t more than half a mile off.”
“Can you see the bungalow?” questioned Gif.
“I can see something in the trees, but whether it’s the bungalow or not I’m not sure.”
“Look! Look!” burst suddenly from Spouter. “Andy, take care of yourself!” he shouted.
“What’s the trouble?” came from the top of the tree.
“Some animal is there, on one of the branches just below you! I don’t know what it is,” was Spouter’s quick reply.
