THE MISSIONARY LANDS ON FOREIGN SHORES What Keekie Joe beheld caused him to rub his eyes and concentrate his gaze with more intensity than ever he had shown while at his official post.

There, bumping against the shore, was somebody or other's grass-plot with a tree on it and a little tent.

The frightened natives who had witnessed the arrival of Columbus could not have been more astonished than Keekie Joe.
He glanced out upon the river to see if any lawns or groves or back yards were floating around.

Then his gaze returned to the miraculous scene before him.

There was the small boy he had known in the morning, "the rich kid" who had been willing to sit as sentinel on the fence.
He was now sitting on an inverted ice cream freezer and all about him on the grass were sandwiches, hundreds of them.
