nown, Nan," laughed Mrs. Bobbsey, "that Flossie would
not object to dirt."

With a shovel for turning up the dirt, and a tin can to hold the worms,
Bert and the two smaller twins were soon busy. But they did not have as
good luck as they expected. Earthworms were not plentiful on the island.
Perhaps they could not swim over the lake from the main shore, Freddie
suggested.

"Aren't bugs good for bait?" asked Freddie, when he had looked in the
tin can and found only a few worms wiggling about after more than half
an hour's digging on the part of himself and Bert.

"Some kinds of bugs are good for fishing; yes," Bert answered, and,
hearing that, Freddie started back for the tent where the trunks were
stored.

"What are you going to do?" Bert called after his little brother.

"I'm going to get the go-around bugs. We can use them for bait. Water
won't hurt 'em--the store man told me so. We can use the go-around
bugs."

"Oh, they're no good--they're _tin_!" laughed Bert.

But Freddie was not listening. He had slipped into the tent and was
searching for the toys he had bought in New York. Bert kept on digging
for worms, now and then finding one, which Flossie picked up for him,
until he heard another call from Freddie. The little fellow came running
from the tent with an empty and broken box in his hand.

"Look! Look!" cried Freddie. "My go-around bugs comed alive in the night
and they broke out of the box. Oh, dear! Now I can't have 'em to catch
fish with! The go-around bugs broke out of the box and they've gone
away!"

CHAPTER XI

THE BLUEBERRY BOY

"What's the matter, Freddie? What has happened? I hope you haven't hurt
yourself," and Mrs. Bobbsey, who heard the small twin calling to Bert
about the tin bugs, hurried from the tent, where she was making the
beds, to see what the trouble was.

"No, Momsie, I'm not hurt," Freddie answered. "But look at my go-around
bugs!" and he held out the empty and broken box.

"What's the matter with them?" asked Mr. Bobbsey who came up just then
from the shore of the lake where he had gone to make sure the camp boats
were securely tied.

"My bugs are all gone!" went on Freddie. "They broke out of the box in
the night! They bited themselves out!"

"No, they didn't bite the box," said Flossie, coming up to look at what
her small brother held. "They just went around and around and around,
and they knocked a hole with their heads in the box and so they got out.
