GETTING NORTH "But we haven't found George Shannon yet," again insisted Jesse, at their breakfast. "And you haven't run your set line yet, Mr. Jess," reminded Rob; which was enough to cause Jesse to run down to the bank with his mouth full of bacon. He had forgotten all about his fishing at the time. At once they heard him shout in excitement, and joined him on the bank. "Geewhillikens!" called Jesse.
