CHAPTER X
TRESPASSERS
The two guardians of the camp at Cabin Point, being left to their own devices, set about carrying out certain tasks they had in mind.
Frank always found plenty to occupy his attention. He could discover numerous ways of bettering the conditions of affairs, and took keen delight in making changes calculated to lessen the friction of camp life.
On his part Will pottered with his camera for fully an hour. When in the end he laid it aside in working order he was satisfied with what he had done.
"I've got it in splendid condition now, Frank," he announced, "and from this time on there'll be no danger of a slip when the trap is sprung. That's been bothering me a whole lot for some time now, and I'm tickled to know the ghost is laid."
Every little while he examined the negative he had drying, as though anxious to get a proof from it when it was in proper condition.
About eleven o'clock he came to Frank holding a browned bit of paper on which the sun had printed a very clear picture as taken when the flashlight cartridge burned.
