"I reckon you chaps are fairly caught," put in Luke Peterson.
"Caught?" came from both, in a breath.
"Yes, caught," said Dick. "We did not follow you for nothing."
"Perhaps you are the ones who are caught," said Arnold Baxter, with a sickly smile.
"Hardly," and Dick showed his pistol. "We are well armed, Arnold
Baxter, and will stand no fooling."
"We are armed, too—" began Dan, but his parent stopped him.
"Of course you came to this island on a boat of some sort," went on the elder Baxter.
