"You will
think things are moving after you have been out with the Meadow-Brook
Girls for a time. Things always do move when we are around. Look out
that they don't move so fast as to sweep you with them. My! but this
is a heavy pack."
The girls had taken the wet pack from Jim and were dragging it up the
bluff. Janus tied this and two other packs on the back of one horse,
then began making ready for doing the game with the other animal. By
the time he was ready, Jim had returned with still another wet bundle
of equipment.
"Our clotheth are in that pack!" wailed Tommy, as she surveyed the
bedraggled outfit. "What thhall we do?"
"Keep quiet and go on up to camp," said Margery severely.
"Come, come, girls!" urged Miss Elting, a little irritated. She had
not yet quite recovered from the shock of Harriet's disaster. How
great a shock this had been her charges had not fully realized.
The heaviest packs were soon loaded on the horses, after which Janus,
leading one animal, went ahead to pilot them to the spot chosen for a
temporary camp. Nearly half an hour was consumed in finding their way
there.
