Chapter XXV
AT THE CAMP ONCE AGAIN The announcement Snap made cast a gloom over all the boys. Each felt that their leader spoke the truth. "Well, as I don't want to go home, I vote we go after the thief," said Shep, who was the first to speak. Fortunately not all of their stores had been taken--they had been too plentiful to pile on one sled--so they had enough left with which to get a substantial supper. But all of the boys did not wait for the meal.
