"It's time for you and Dan to rustle the firewood and bring in more water," Reade went on.
"All right," agreed Hazelton. "Where's Dan?"
Where, indeed, was Dalzell? That soon became a problem for all five of the other boys. Danny Grin was nowhere in sight.
"Dan! Oh, Dan!" Dave shouted.
"Where is that grinning monkey of a football player?" demanded Tom in disgust. "Did any of you fellows see him go away from camp?"
It turned out that none of them had.
"It isn't like Dalzell to run away from his share of the work, either," added Greg Holmes.
"If he won't stay and do his share toward getting supper, then he ought to be passed up at table," grumbled Darrin.
"Before we pass sentence," proposed Dick, "won't it be better to wait and find out whether he's guilty of shirking this time?"
"I suppose it would be better," Darrin admitted.
