No
swim for me this morning!" And after a good wash he fixed up,
and the others followed his example.
All wanted some more perch, and they went fishing for their breakfast
in true camping-out style. A mess was procured in less than half
an hour, and then they got one of the pans hot, while Snap made
coffee and brought out the last of the bread they had brought along.
"Our next bread or biscuits we'll have to make ourselves," observed
the youth.
It was so nice to take it easy that the young hunters did not
finish their breakfast and clean up again until the middle of
the forenoon. During that time they talked matters over once
more and decided to row around Lake Cameron and then make up their
minds at what point to locate.
Once more the outfit was packed on board of the rowboat and they
moved along the lake shore, slowly, taking in the advantages and
disadvantages of every spot as they went along. Some places seemed
too high and rocky and some too low and marshy, some too barren
and others too overgrown with trees and brushwood.
At last the circuit of the lake was finished and then by mutual
consent they turned back to a point where there was a sloping,
sandy shore.
