"I'll tell you what we've got to do," Harry said, presently. "We've got to put on full power and try to run up the rapids."
"Why, there is noise enough for a ten-foot fall," Frank replied.
"We've got to risk it," Jack went on.
"Now, you just wait," Frank cut in. "I don't think you've got this thing sized up right at all. Harry," he continued, "who does this boat belong to?"
"To the Black Bear Patrol," was the reply. "You know that well enough."
"Then we can do what we please with it, so long as we make it right with the other members of the Patrol?"
"Why, of course."
Jack looked at his chums with a grin.
"What are you figuring on?" he asked. "One would think you were planning to blow the Black Bear into smithereens."
"That's about it," Frank replied.
