Chapter XXI
IN WHICH THE ENEMY APPEARS AGAIN On the way back to camp Shep brought down a squirrel and Whopper knocked over a rabbit, so the quest after game was not altogether fruitless. The boys had covered a good stretch of ground, and they were pretty well tired out when they came within sight of the cabin. "Oh, fellows, look!" screamed Giant suddenly. "The cabin is on fire!" He pointed ahead, and a glance showed his chums that he spoke the truth.
