—as darkness was falling we grounded 
gently on this wooded island which was 
easily a mile from the mainland and per¬ 
haps five acres in area. 
Soon we had a cheerful fire going and 
were .drying our feet. “How’s your ap¬ 
petite?” says Bud with a grin. “I could 
gnaw the bark off a tree,” says I. Bud put 
on his shoes and started to walk around 
the island. Speaking of eats gave me an 
inspiration and I scrambled aboard the boat 
and got the salmon which I dressed and 
split lengthwise. I found a big flat rock and 
dragged it to the fire propping it up with 
smaller stones. Under it I scraped some 
live coals and added fresh fuel until the 
rock was hot. On this I placed the fish to 
fry and kept turning it as it sizzled away. 
“Supper is served in the dining car!” I 
calls out as Bud walked in. “Well,” says 
Bud, “that salmon looks good to me, but 
where are the green peas?” Saltless sal¬ 
mon broiled on a stone is better, believe me, 
than nothing at all. This was proved by 
the fact that we ate all of it. 
Here is a picture of a hand-propelled 
motor-boat just moving and that’s all 
After supper we cut enough boughs to 
make a bed near the fire and brought 
ashore a tarpaulin from the boat which was 
big enough to go over and under us. After 
collecting enough firewood to last thru the 
night we filled our pipes and tried to figure 
out what we would do when daylight came, 
but when we curled up under the tarpaulin 
the problem was unsettled. 
I SPENT a rotten night and was glad to 
see dawn come. There was one thing we 
didn’t have to bother about and that was 
breakfast. With a hatchet and a few nails we 
happened to have aboard we constructed 
two rough oarlocks on the boat and from 
some boards which had drifted to the 
island fashioned a couple of pretty punk 
oars or sweeps. With this outfit we un¬ 
leashed “Lizzie” and pushed out to sea. 
Finally we got her nose pointed toward 
camp, then with each of us frantically 
working a sweep we began our two mile 
voyage. It was slow work, but we actually 
moved. Fortunately after we had covered 
half the distance a friendly wind helped 
us along. If that wind had been against 
us we would have gone back up lake! 
As it was it was past noon when we 
berthed at the home port. Bud said he 
was going to take another look at that en¬ 
gine and I beat it for camp in disgust. 
When he walked in half an hour later 
I had a fire in the stove and the teakettle 
was singing merrily. Bud wore sort of a 
foolish, idiotic grin on his face. 
“I don’t know as I blame ‘Lizzie’ for 
the way she treated us,” says he. 
“Well, I do,” says I. 
“But what could we expect,” says Bud, 
“when there wasn’t a drop of gasoline in 
the tank!”
