"It doesn't seem as if we came as far as that," said Bob.

"This is a very fast boat," commented Rose.

"Is the buoy anchored to rocks?" asked Ned.

"No, it's on a dangerous shoal," answered Olivia "But there is no harm
from that source to be feared to this boat, as it doesn't draw much
water."

"It ought to be easy enough to start in the right direction for San
Felicity, with this buoy to guide us," suggested Bob. "Can't you,
Jerry."

"I guess so, if you think it will be safe to travel in the fog."

"No, don't," urged Nellie. "I'm afraid we might have a collision. I
don't know much about this bay, and there are dangerous places in it,
I've heard the fishermen say. We had better stay here until the fog
lifts."

"That's what I think," agreed Rose and Olivia.

Bob and Ned, however, were for going on, but Jerry rather sided with
the girls.

"Well," he finally said, in answer to the urging of his two chums,
"Which way would you say the dock was, Ned?"

"Off there," and Ned pointed over the port rail.
