“O, that goes to Parrsboro’ Village; the left leads up to Pratt’s Cove.”
“How do you know?”
“I can’t tell just where Pratt’s Cove is, but I know the direction in which it must lie from here,” said Bart. “You can tell that by seeing the way the Five Islands lie toward us. If they come for us, they’ll have to come from behind that headland.”
“I wonder if they’ll come by land or water.”
“I don’t see how they can come by land.”
“There’s a road, I suppose.”
“O, ever so far back. How could any one find anything about us on the road? No; they’ll come by water, so as to find us either afloat or ashore.”
“There isn’t any boat at all in Pratt’s Cove.”
“O, there must be other coves near, where they can get other boats.”
“It will be hard for us, if they don’t happen to have a boat.”
