Excerpt: ..."Man come, let dog loose, --we better go back! Incah!" "No," said Billy firmly. "Dog or no dog, I'm not going back till I've found out where they've hidden Hugh!"

But the men carrying the box heard the calls. They knew it was still too early in the afternoon for otters to be hunting so noisily, and they were surprised, startled, suspicious. To Alec's dismay, they dropped the box, stood still, and stared all around them. Alec lay flat on the ground, trusting that his khaki suit and brown flannel shirt would help him to escape observation. At the same...
