[Pee-Wee Harris Adrift by Percy Keese Fitzhugh]@TWC D-Link bookPee-Wee Harris Adrift CHAPTER VIII 1/7
PEE-WEE EXPLORES THE ISLAND There was no doubt at all of the reality of this extraordinary apparition.
Pee-wee, who was always sure of everything, was doubly sure of this.
Squint and rub his eyes as he would, there was the desert island in the middle of the river with the tree surmounting it. By all the precedents in history this island was his.
He had as much right to it as the king of Spain had to San Salvador, more in fact, for the king of Spain had never seen the island of San Salvador. If there was any good in history at all (and Pee-wee had his doubts about that) why then this mysterious island belonged to him.
Miss Bunting, if she had any sense of fairness at all, would concede this. If the good old rule of findings is keepings applied to monarchs it certainly applied to Boy Scouts.
