"Quite," agreed Red. "And fresh."
"How're you going to get the parts?" Cloudman asked practically.
"Go after them to Blackport. To-morrow, if 'tis fair and there's a breeze ruffling the surface of yon sound."
"All of us going?" questioned Midkiff. "Who's to watch camp?"
"That's right," Phillips said. "I don't trust those chaps yonder."
"They have been keeping away from here, all right," Peewee observed.
"That isn't saying they wouldn't come over and grab all our stuff if we left it unguarded," Red said.
"Don't you think we'll have to risk that sometime, Red?" Kingdon asked.
"Not if you have that gang put off the island as you should," put in Midkiff with tartness.
"Now, is that so?" mocked Rex. "They could hang around and do us plenty of damage if they were put off, I suppose? If we are going to spend our entire summer worrying about a lot of amateur pirates like them, we'll have a fine time—I don't think."
