"Let's borrow Miss Anne's glass," cried two or three voices, and Frances ran off in search of Anne Wentworth. When she returned with the glass, they all rushed over to the Lookout. The yacht was just dropping anchor as they turned the glass upon it and Frances cried out, "O, it is--it is! I can read the name easily. Here, look!" she surrendered the glass to Elsie. "It _is_ the Sea Gull," Elsie confirmed her, "and they are lowering a boat already." "O, tell us if Miss Laura gets into it, and Olga," cried Lizette. "Two men--sailors, I suppose, two girls, and two boys," Elsie announced. "Then it's Miss Laura and Olga and Jim and Jo Barton," Frances cried joyfully. [Illustration: A favorite rendezvous at the camp] "Let's hurry down to the landing to meet them," Mary Hastings proposed, and instantly the whole group turned and raced back to camp to leave the glass, with the joyous announcement, "Miss Laura's coming, and Olga. We're going to the landing to meet them." And waiting for no response they sped through the pines to the landing-steps, Elsie snatching up a flag as she passed her own tent. "Let's all go," one of the other girls cried, but Miss Anne said, "No, let Miss Laura's girls have the first greeting--they all love her so! But we might go to the Lookout and wave her a welcome from there." "What shall we wave?" some one asked, and another cried, "O, towels, handkerchiefs--anything. But _hurry_!" and they did, reaching the Lookout breathless and laughing, to see the yacht resting like a great bird on the blue water, and the small boat already nearing the point. "Get your breath, girls, then--the wohelo cheer," said Miss Anne. Two score young voices followed her lead, and as they chanted, the white banners fluttered in the breeze. Instantly there came a response from the boat in fluttering handkerchiefs and waving caps, while the girls below on the landing echoed back the wohelo greeting. But when the boat rounded the point the voices of those on the landing wavered into silence. They were too glad to sing as they saw Laura and Olga coming back to them--they could only wait in silence. Lizette's lips were quivering nervously and Elizabeth's blue eyes were full of happy tears. Even Sadie for once was silent, but she waved her handkerchief frantically to the two boys who were gaily swinging their caps. When the boat reached the landing, however, and the girls crowded about Laura and Olga, tongues were loosened, and everybody talked. "How well Olga looks!" Mary cried. "Doesn't she? I'm so proud of her for gaining so fast!" Laura laughed. "I couldn't help gaining with all she has done for me," Olga said with a grateful glance. "And you've come to stay? Do say you have, Miss Laura," the girls begged. "Of course, we're going to stay--we've been homesick for the camp," Laura answered. "That's splendid. We've missed you so!" they cried.
