CHAPTER XI
CORA MAKES A DISCOVERY
The boys, followed by Mr. Morley, retraced their steps to the cabin and told the good news.
“And now,” said Cora, “I suppose we must go. It was awfully good of you, Mr. Morley, to take us shipwrecked travelers in and treat us so nicely.”
The others echoed this sentiment, but Mr. Morley put in a vehement disclaimer.
“It’s nothing compared to what you did for me the other day,” he declared. “And I can’t tell you how much good it has done me to have you young people here. It’s a long time since I’ve had youth in my home. But that’s my own fault. I drove it——”
He brought himself up with a sharp turn.
“Perhaps you’d like to take a look at my specimens before you go,” he remarked tentatively.
“We’d dearly love to,” replied Cora.
Mr. Morley led the way into the specimen room.
“Just now I’m making a collection of vampires,” he remarked.
