George said that the boys, too, were going to move their camp now and then.

He told the girls the Tramp Club had planned to spend a week on one of the islands in the lake, and that they would so arrange the time as to do so when the Meadow-Brook party was in that vicinity.
By the time they had reached the cove where the "Red Rover" lay the boys who had remained behind had gotten nearly all the belongings aboard.
Miss Elting and the girls were helping them, Tommy taking it upon herself to "boss" the whole job.
As soon as the motor boat party had landed, Harriet said she must look for the anchor rope, which had not been seen that morning.
"I'll do that," offered Larry Goheen.

"You ought to make it secure, so that the boat can't get away," he added.
"I thought I secured it last night.

I made a stout loop and slipped it over the cleat on the deck.

I don't see how the boat could have gotten away unless the rope broke, which it undoubtedly did." George said he would see about that.
