ears dimmed his eyes. Joe, too, was much affected.
"If you only had your daughter now, you'd be all right," said Blake,
anxious to turn the subject.
"Yes, so I would. My poor little girl! We must locate her next, Joe."
"But what about my sister?" asked Joe. "Can we find her?"
"We'll try, Joe, my boy!" exclaimed his father. "You and I together."
"Count me in!" cried Blake.
"I sure will," agreed Joe. "I wonder what will happen to us."
And what did, and how the two lads went on their new quest, will be
related in the next volume of this series, to be entitled "The Moving
Picture Boys in the Jungle; Or, Stirring Times Among the Wild Animals."
In it will be told of their adventures and you may learn whether or not
they found Joe's sister.
"Well, we got everything we came for," said Mr. Ringold, a few days
later, when the shipwrecked ones had been sent to their homes with the
exception of Mr. Duncan, who remained with Joe.
"Yes, all the dramas, and the storm and wreck as well," agreed Mr.
Hadley.
"But we'll never have such good luck again," predicted C. C. Piper, with
a return of his gloomy manner. "I know something will happen to us on
our way back East."
"Oh, cheer up," urged Miss Lee; "the sun is shining."
"But it will rain to-morrow," declared the comedian, as he did some odd
little dance steps.
Preparations for taking the theatrical company back East were made; but
Joe, Blake and Mr. Duncan were uncertain about accompanying them. While
Joe and his father were talking over their plans, Blake went to San
Francisco on a vacation for a week.
But it was not much of a rest for him. While there he learned of a prize
offered for the best moving picture of the fire department in action,
and, though many operators tried, Blake's film was regarded as the
best. He "scooped" the others easily, and beat some of the most skillful
men in the business.
But now, for a time, we will take leave of the moving picture boys.
