There was a southerly wind , so they kept to their original plan and took the river boat to Escoumains , arriving there about four o'clock in the afternoon . Mr. Waterman hustled around and soon had a pair of little Canadian horses . These hustled away with them and the two canoes , and by dark they were at the ford once more . The next morning they were up early , and by seven o'clock they were back on Lac Parent . Jerry 's cheery halloo proved to them that they had been expected . They found Bill and Mr. Anderson already back , and Mr. Waterman was very much pleased with the way they had gotten results . `` The gulch is ours , then , '' said Mr. Waterman .
