CHAPTER IV
AT OLD NANTUCKET

“A home on the rolling deep!” came from Randy.
“If you fellows don’t all get seasick before you get back,” interposed Gif, closing one eye suggestively.
“Seasick? Perish the thought!” cried Andy, tragically. “This crowd never gets seasick.”
“I’ll say it’s some dandy day for starting a trip,” put in Jack. “It’s as fine as if we’d had it made to order.”
“What a beautiful harbor,” was Spouter’s comment. “Isn’t it queer there aren’t more boats around?”
“You must remember the season is a little late,” answered Ralph. “During the summer you’ll find boats galore around here.”
“What about a harbor at Marthas Vineyard?” questioned Fred.
