"You bet you did!" cried the boys, together. Mr Eagle, breaking into a run, sent aloft at the peak of the barque the meteor flag of Old England. And now he was back again; and this time he did not intend to risk his life in those sucking sands. From a couple of dead saplings, with the aid of wild grape-vines, he fashioned a light raft which would serve as a support in the bog, and carry his weight in the putrid mire beyond. Strange sounds came to his ears as he worked his way across the desolate waste toward the first great pond—scurrying, rustling sounds of hidden things aroused from their security.

Therefore he must have made the necessary arrangements yesterday for what he contemplated as a daybreak departure this morning.".
