Lightning! Why, we're going to have a storm!
gpt
Well, let her rain, muttered Lub.
human
We haven't anything to get wet, outside of our canoe, and it won't hurt that.
gpt
I hope you fellows can spare me the lantern for a little while,
human
Well, that's queer!
gpt
What's doing, Phil?
human
I think I'll go out and get my camera,
gpt
I thought that was what it must have been, Phil,
human
Oh! I see, Lub went on to say;
gpt
Too bad you've had all that work for nothing, Phil,
human
Oh! I don't know about that, Phil told him, as he picked up the lantern;
gpt
I've got a hunch that the thing's been played to the end of the string.
human
Whatever can you mean by that?
gpt
Oh! then that wasn't a flash of lightning after all, Phil?
human
After a kind, it was, Phil went on to say.
gpt
In fact, I believe my trap has been sprung. Mr. 'Coon was early on the trail to-night. I'd better go and see. If the thing's happened, no need of leaving the camera out all night, and take chances of a shower. Coming along with me, Ethan?
human
Sure thing!
