CHAPTER XX
IN A STORM ON THE LAKE
Snap and his chums were much interested in what the rival campers had
to relate, and questioned the two dudes closely. They could see that
both Bush and Dudder were unusually ill at ease.
"Well, all this doesn't help us any," said Shep. "It is going
to storm and I want to get back to camp. Trot around that boat,
or else lend us yours."
"We'll have to lend you ours," said Dick Bush. "But---but-----"
"But what?"
"I---er---I can't tell you," answered Bush, and turned away.
"Is there anything else wrong?" asked Giant. "Maybe you were over
to our camp."
"Were you?" asked Snap, catching Carl Dudder by the arm.
"Let go!"
"I want you to answer me, Dudder."
"I wont answer!"
"Then it is true."
"What did you do at our camp?" asked Shep.
"Go and find out!"
Carl Dudder had scarcely spoken when he found himself flat on his
back, with Snap on top of him.
