"Yes! I guess a fish would catch you first!" laughed Ted.
"I'll sit by him and hold him in," offered Janet, and she remained close to her small brother during the remainder of the trip across the lake. He did not again try to lean far over as he had done when his grandfather saw him and grabbed him.
"Hurray!" cried Teddy, as he sprang ashore. "Now for the camp! Can I help put up the tents, Grandpa?"
"Yes, when it's time. But first we must bring the rest of the things over. We'll finish that first and put up the tents afterward. We have two more boatloads to bring."
"Then can't I help do that?"
"Yes, you may do that," said Grandpa Martin with a smile.
"Can't I come, too?" asked Janet. "I'm almost as strong as Teddy."
"I think you'd better stay and help me look after Trouble," said Mrs. Martin. "Nora will be busy getting lunch ready for us, which we will eat before the tents are up."
"Oh, then I can help at that!" cried Janet, who was eager to be busy. "Come on, Nora! Where are the things to eat, Mother? I'm hungry already!"
"So'm I!" cried Ted. "Can't we eat before we go back for the other boatload, Grandpa?"
