Chapter XIV
THE BANDANNA HANDKERCHIEF Nat Poole could hardly walk on the injured leg, so Dave and Gus supported him as the three left the rude cabin and headed for the shore of the island. "Do you know where the wild man is?" repeated Gus, who had not been satisfied by the reply given to the question before. "I do not," snapped the money-lender's son, with a touch of his former tartness. "I haven't seen him." "But you know that cabin is where he lives," put in our hero.
