Excerpt: ...to his back. "They are only windy at certain times of the year," answered the doctor's son. "But when it blows, why, it blows, so Jed Sanborn said." "Then we'll have to put our tent up good and strong," came from Whopper. "We don't want to wake up some night and find ourselves blown into the middle of next year!" "And dying to know how we are going to get back," added Giant dryly. "Giant, if you say dying again--" began Whopper. "Save your wind, boys!" interrupted Shep.
