Harriet nodded. "There is something I should like to ask. Did you see anything of a sail boat in the bay this morning?"
"No. Why?"
"I saw one come in last night before the blow. It anchored in the cove. They had put out their lights before coming in, which made me wonder."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, I know. I wondered if they had been blown ashore?"
"We should have known of it if such had been the case. But I can't understand what a boat could be doing in here. This is a remote place where people seldom come. That was why I chose it for our summer camping place. I will ask the girls if they saw anything of the boat you mention, but it is doubtful."
"Another thing. Oh, I'm not going to keep you here talking with me all day."
"No; I want to go to thleep," interjected Grace.
"I saw a cabin down on that long point of land just this side of the bay. What is it?"
"A fisherman's cabin. It is not occupied, nor has it been in a very long time."
