At last Baker, in a low tone, reminded Rattleton of his promise to obey orders, and then told him to jump.
Frank, of course, could not see a thing, but he heard a little grating sound as Rattleton's feet left the planks. An instant later there was a loud splash in the water.
"Pull him in quick!" exclaimed the voice of Rowe, "we don't want him to catch cold. Hurry it up!"
"There, he's coming to the surface!" said another voice.
This remark was followed instantly by a loud coughing and sniffing.
"Poor Harry's got his mouth full of water," thought Frank. "I'll look out for that when I go over."
With a great bustling about and a lot of excited exclamations the seniors pulled Rattleton up and started him off as fast as he could go toward the college.
