No harm in that, I guess." "None whatever," Mr.Ellsworth said; "how much money was there ?" The fellow said a little over two hundred, but they weren't sure exactly how much.
Mr.Ellsworth raised his eyebrows in that way he has and said, "Isn't that a good deal of money for two young fellows to take camping ?" The camper said, "Yes, I guess it is, but we're pretty punk campers, I suppose, any way you look at it." Mr.Ellsworth said, "Just wait a minute," and he went away.
The camping fellow started to say how it made him feel mean and contemptible to come over and ask about the money, and he guessed it was probably in Davy Jones' locker, anyway.
Pretty soon Mr.Ellsworth came back and said, "I'm very sorry, my young friend, but no sum of money was found on your companion.

If it had been, it would either have been restored to him or held by the camp authorities through oversight.

I have just made inquiries of them.

The boy who saved your friend is not in camp at present, but I think I can answer for him, that he did not find it.

To make sure, I will ask him when he returns and one of the boys will row over and let you know." I could see the fellow seemed kind of disappointed, but anyway, he was mighty nice about it..
