"Our story—the one we've been enacting thus far. Look back over our experiences in the last two days and see if you can make anything but a very fascinating yarn out of them."
"It's a radio-college story, isn't it?" Hal suggested.
"Yes," Mr. Perry agreed; "that would be one good way to put it."
"If it didn't involve my cousin in a critical situation, I'd hope the story wouldn't end yet," said Hal. "I'd like to see it run thirty or forty chapters."
"How many chapters do you figure it would make thus far?" asked the director-general of the expedition with a look of keen interest.
"Oh, about ten or fifteen," Hal replied.
"Then, to suit your taste, it ought to be only about half finished."
"Yes, but for my cousin's sake, I wish it were finished right now and
Alvin were safe with us or at home."
"But wishes won't produce results nor cut off chapters," Cub philosophised.
"No, the denouement will work itself out along natural lines under natural laws," Mr. Perry predicted.
