“You must remember I got the boat-hook,” urged Johnny. Why! There he was back again. “Six minutes and eight seconds going,” he shouted, “and eight minutes and one second coming back!” “Yes,” was the quick answer, although the speaker had hoped that the boy would suggest spending a week or two with him before he left for the West. But Bob’s next words cheered him a lot. “The writing might have been nicer, too,” said Johnny apologetically, “but I had such a scratchy, bad pen.”.
