Then he gave Johnny a whistle—a regular boatswain’s whistle. He put it right into Johnny’s pocket, and of course that meant that he wanted to give it to him. So Johnny Blossom shook hands with him and bowed his thanks. Ah! this would be something to show to the boys at school. How he would blow and play on it. “No, I reckon I’ll let you go alone. Me for the high places!” Ted Hoyt evidently had wasted no time in carrying out Bob’s plan, for he did not show up at breakfast.
