Simpson’s was another boathouse some miles from the college, and a recognized students’ rendezvous. Ned, Bob, Jerry and their guests found several gay parties gathered at the resort, and one of the parties was made up of Frank Watson, Bart Haley and Bill Hamilton.
“There’s the sneak now,” murmured Ned. “I’ve a good notion to tell him what I think of him.”
“No, you won’t,” said Jerry calmly. “Don’t make a scene.”
As the Neboje was approaching the college boathouse after the spread Ned, who was steering, saw the Avis, which was Frank’s boat, also heading toward the landing place.
“Look out you don’t run into him,” cautioned Jerry.
“It’s his place to look out,” returned Ned. “I’m on the right course.”
The motor boats came closer together, and it was seen that the Avis was headed directly for the Neboje.
“Look out where you’re going!” cried Bob.
Frank, who was steering, gave no sign that he heard. He kept on his course.
“Steer out, Ned,” ordered Jerry. “He’s too headstrong to give in.”
