Chapter IV
“He knows we’ve stored our food over here,” says Plunk. Mark shrugged his shoulders. “If that was all I had to w-worry about,” says he, “I’d start whistlin’ a tune.” He walked to the door and stood looking out for quite a while. Finally he turned around and asked if anybody had seen a strong rope lying about.
