Chapter VI
"There goes our good hose!" said Keith. The remark brought them to wrath and a desire for vengeance. "I'm going to lick somebody!" cried Keith, starting determinedly in the direction of the engine. "We'll help," growled Munro. But when they came in sight of the engine their anger evaporated, and they clung to each other, weak with mirth.
