"And you needn't worry about us, for we'll be perfectly safe." They were bound for a spot among the foothills, about six miles away.
Here was located a mountain torrent, said to be filled with the gamiest kind of specimens of the finny tribe.

Sid Todd had told them of a particularly good bend in the stream, where fishing was bound to be excellent, and Belle said she knew the trail, having gone to the locality several times with her father.

She was a true young sportswoman, and could fish almost as well as her parent.

She carried the same kind of an outfit as did the boys.

Jessie and Laura did not expect to fish, but said they would watch the others, and pick wild flowers, and also prepare the lunch when it came time to eat.
All were in the best of health and spirits when they departed.
