Chapter XIX
AT THE FINISH LINE “Now we’ve got something to go on,” said Harry, as they walked along the road that skirts the shore. “You mean, _they’ve_ got something to go on, if your idea is right,” Gordon corrected. “Think the sun’s coming out, Harry.” The belated sun was indeed breaking through the clouds. Harry saw from his map that there was but one stream emptying into the lake between them and Port Henry, and on reaching this they found that it was not suitable for even a motor-dory.
