“And I’m hungry,” added Boxy.
“And I’m a bit of both,” put in Harry. “Let us rest a few minutes and have a bite to eat.”
Pickles was more than willing, and at once went to work to get out crackers and cheese. Jack looked on with a doubtful face.
“We’ll have a bite, but don’t waste time resting,” he said. “We must go on, or night will overtake us while we are still on the lake.”
“Why, it’s only twelve o’clock!” cried Andy.
“That’s so, but the shore is still a good way off, and if we get lost——”
“Oh, we won’t get lost,” put in Boxy. “We all know just where the shore is.”
“And where is it?” questioned Jack, still more seriously.
“Right over there,” and Boxy pointed with his arm.
“Why, no, it’s over in that direction,” cried Andy, pointing nearly at right angles with Boxy.
