"I'm afraid we'll have to go up the stream a bit to get across.

We can't ford here." "How far to a good ford ?" asked Dick.
"About quarter o' a mile tudder side o' the old mill." "Say, look over there!" cried Tom at this moment.

"What does that look like to you, Sam ?" He pointed with his hand, and all in the party gazed in the direction indicated, a point close to the opposite shore, where some brushwood overhung the river.
"Why that looks to me like one of the planes of the flying machine!" cried the youngest Rover.
"Just what I thought," exclaimed Tom.

"What do you say, Dick ?" "It certainly does look like one of the planes," answered the older brother.

"But don't be too sure, or we may be disappointed." "Too bad we can't get over here," murmured Sam.
