A VISIT TO TELL'S COUNTRY
While the boys were listening to this interesting story, the steamer was carrying them slowly up the beautiful lake toward the very places where it all happened.
At last they came to a narrow part of the lake where the mountains rose steep and high on both sides.
"Look, boys!" said their father. "Do you see the little chapel just ahead of us, on the left? It is called Tell's Chapel, because it is built on the flat rock on to which Tell sprang from Gessler's boat that stormy day. On the walls inside of the chapel an artist has painted four large pictures showing the whole story of William Tell."
"Oh, father, please let us go ashore here," said Jack. "I want to look at those pictures."
"Do you see the little chapel just ahead of us?"
"And I want to climb up into the dark woods behind the chapel," said Joe.
