"It's
worth trying, isn't it, Walter?"
"I should say so--yes, by all means! But what sort of a craft can we
get to cruise in?"
"I just heard of one!" said Jack, eagerly. "The Tartar. She's a big
motor boat, and will be just the thing for us. I'm going to see
about it right away. Who's with me for a cruise in the Tartar?"
"I am!" came from Cora.
"We're not going to be left behind," said Bess.
"Count on me, of course," spoke Walter, quietly.
"And, Senor Jack--may--may I go?" faltered Inez.
"Of course!"
"Senor--Senor Jack," she spoke in a tremulous whisper. "If you are
successful--if you find ze lost ones, and we are near Sea Horse
Island, would you leave me zere--wiz my father?"
"Leave you there?" cried Jack. "We'll bring your father away from
there, if we get the chance! Now come on! We have lots to do!"
CHAPTER XVI
SENOR RAMO MISSING
Jack's eyes glowed with the brightness of renewed health, and
determination, as he looked at his sister, at Bess and Belle, and at
Walter. It was like old times, when the motor girls had proposed
some novel or daring plan, and the boys had fallen in with it. This
time it had been Jack's privilege to make the suggestion, and the
others were only too ready to agree.
"Oh, Jack, do you think we can do it?" asked Cora.
"Of course we can!" her brother cried, with a growing, instead of
lessening, enthusiasm.
