CHAPTER XXXVI
UP THE TRAIL
As soon as I told Westy about it, he said he’d go into Haverstraw so as to save time, while I went back to camp and got the rest of the fellows. Oh boy, didn’t I hustle. I went running into camp shouting that there were two fellows and two girls on the top of Eagle’s Nest, and that we had to go and rescue them.
“Are they human?” Harry asked in that funny way he had.
“Yes, they’re human,” I said.
“Five toes on their front feet and four on their hind feet?” he asked me. “Had we better take some flypaper?”
“All right, you can laugh,” I said.
He said, “I’ve followed you through many wild adventures, but I never accompanied you in rescuing a maiden in distress.”
“Two maidens,” I said.
“All right,” he laughed; “the more the merrier.”
“And one of those fellows said I was a kid,” I told him. “Anyway, if I took a girl out, I’d know how to bring her back, that’s one thing. Wait till I see that fellow.”
