We've had a good deal of excitement and some good luck since we last saw you.

We have recovered my canoe, which somebody stole from me, and we have found out that there is a bear living on Bruin's Island." "He must be a monster, too, for such growls I never heard before," said Bert.
"Didn't you see him ?" asked David.
"No.

We landed to explore the island, and while we were going through the cane he growled at us, and we took the hint and left.

We didn't have a single load of heavy shot with us.

We're going up there to-morrow, and we want you to go with us.
