“What sort of a place is Anticosti?” asked Bruce.
“Well, you’d best not go within fifty miles of that thar island.”

“Sable Island!” exclaimed the skipper, staring at them in astonishment.
“Yes, Sable Island.”
“You mean Cape Sable Island.”
“No; we mean Sable Island.”
The skipper looked at them all with a solemn face.
