"Let us bring un up!" And so said David and Andy also.

They quickly had the contents of the skiff transferred to the cabin, and the exciting process of opening the packages began.
The first to be opened was for Margaret, and it contained many pretty and useful things, including two neat, substantial warm dresses, finer than any Margaret had ever before possessed or seen.

Her eyes sparkled as she held them up for inspection, and she exclaimed over and over again: "Oh, how wonderful pretty they is!" For the boys there were innumerable gifts dear to boys' hearts, including a compass and a watch for each.

For Thomas there was a fine pair of field-glasses, a compass and a very fine watch indeed, and he was as pleased and happy as the others.
"The glasses'll be a wonderful help t' me in huntin'," he declared.
"When I climbs hills for a look around I can see deer that I'd sure to be missin' with no glasses.

I'm not doubtin' the compass'll come in handy now and again in thick weather." Then there was a big box of goodies.
