"Someone must have come in the night," said Horace. "Maybe campers."
"Well, after breakfast we'll have a look around," said Mr. Buckman.
As soon as grace had been said Roy spoke up.
"Those boats belong to Hammond, Mr. Buckman," he said.
"To Hammond? How do you know, Porter? What are they doing here?"
"I brought them, sir."
A howl of laughter arose. Mr. Buckman smiled genially.
"I suppose there's a joke somewhere," he said. "Get rid of it, Porter."
"Well, yes, there is a joke, sir," answered Roy quietly. "And I guess it's on Hammond."
