Then the boys on shore drew
a sigh of relief.
"What rowdies!" declared one boy, who was as dudish as Spink. "I
really believe they would have shot us, don't you know!"
"Very, very rude," said the youth who had thrown one of the tomatoes.
"They ought to be locked up for threatening us," declared Ham Spink.
"It is an outrage that we cannot come here for an outing without
being bothered by such low creatures."
"I tell you what we can do," piped in one of the crowd. "Let us go
over to their camp some day when they are away and hide all their
things on them."
"Yes, that's an idea!" cried several. "It will be lots of fun, and
they won't know who did it."
"Well, we want to be certain that nobody is around," said Ham Spink.
"For if they caught us at it they would surely kill us."
"Oh, we'll be careful!"
CHAPTER XVIII
A MIX-UP IN CAMP
After the deer hunt the young hunters were content to take it easy
for several days, lolling around the camp, or going out fishing on
the lake or up the river beyond.
While fishing one day, Giant and Shep ran into several of the Spink
crowd and some unpleasant words passed.
