"I don't know," said Brownie. "We passed Corbett's Lumber Yard."
"The Philippines are farther along," said Townsend; "they're the second turn to our left. If this island hits Japan they'll grab it; I have a feeling that they'll grab it like the island of Yap."
"I've got an inspiration! I've got an inspiration!" shouted Pee-wee in a voice of thunder. "I know where we're at. That's Mr. Skybrow's place down there. He owns a lot of railroads and things! They're having a lawn party there to-night!"
"Are they having anything to eat?" Townsend asked quietly.
"Yum, yum—m-m-m!" said Pee-wee. "They have everything. Once I went to Minerva's birthday party and I couldn't go to school all next week, that's how much they have to eat there. Get the clothes-sticks. Get the clothes-sticks! Let's pole the island to shore. I bet she'll like you because you're big—I'll introduce you to her—all my old troop is going to be there—hurry up—push—keep pushing!"
"Reach over to the west coast and hand me that pole from the north coast before it goes over to the east coast," said Townsend quietly.
"Get up! Get up!" shouted Pee-wee, all excitement. "Aren't you going to get up?"
"Positively," said Townsend, dragging himself to his feet.
"Shh!" said Pee-wee, "let's surprise them."
"You're the only one that's making any noise," said Townsend.
