“That’s one of the Coburn fleet,” Bob said pointing to a steamer which was making its way up the lake.
“Looks like one of the boats I used to sail in the bath tub from here,” Rex laughed.
“It’s the Kathadin,” Jack declared. “And she’ll carry six hundred people besides a lot of freight.”
“How big is Moosehead?” Rex asked.
“Forty miles long and a little over eighteen miles wide in the widest place,” Bob told him.
“Some lake.”
“Largest in New England,” Jack said proudly.
An hour later, when about half way up the lake Bob brought the car to a stop.
“We turn off here,” he said as he pointed to a narrow trail leading to the right.
“Do you mean to say that you can run the car over that road?” Rex asked anxiously.
