He was just getting out the boat when, to his dismay, he heard a familiar but unwelcome voice hailing him.
“Where are you going?”
“I am going a-fishing. I thought you were not going to use the boat.”
“Well, I am,” said the fisherman shortly. “Are you ready to give me that money?”
“No, uncle,” said Robert firmly.
“I have a right to it.”
“You don’t need it and aunt does,” answered our hero.
“Well, never mind about that now. You can go out with me.”
Considerably surprised at getting off so easily, Robert jumped into the boat with his uncle and they pushed off.
“Pull for Egg Island,” said John Trafton.
