Chapter IX
INTO THE RAPIDS It was another ideal day, and the young hunters felt in the best of spirits. Whopper felt so good that presently he burst out singing an old school song, and the others joined in. "That's all right, and very good, but if we want any game we've got to keep quiet," said the doctor's son after the song was ended. "Right you are," answered Whopper promptly. "And as I'd rather eat later than sing now I'll shut up."
