The Princess, astonished at this sight, asked the men for whom they were working. But when he came to it, the front of the Chief’s cottage was dark.

But a disappointment awaited them in the morning. The craft that had brought them this far was quite beyond repair. It would perhaps not have been impossible to patch it up if they had had the necessary tools, but, lacking them, the boat was a total wreck. “Can you make it?” asked Bob. “We’ll have to swim.” Every one they met as they rode along turned around and stared at Johnny.
