Summary
Set during my story " A provincial lady visits the Lake." ( just after the Picts and the Martyrs) The younger Swallows have befriended Vicky and Robin who are spending the night on Wild Cat island, never having camped before. The mates and captains have their misgivings about this, and John is having trouble sleeping. He tries to get to sleep by imagining a "prequel" to Missee Lee.
