CHAPTER XIX
A QUARREL OVER A ROWBOAT
“That’s our boat!”
“I think so myself. Come on. Let’s row over to them before they have a chance to reach their camp!” cried Jack.
“That’s the talk!” returned Spouter.
“I wonder if they got the oars,” said Randy. “The pair I was using was dandy.”
“It isn’t likely,” answered Andy. “You let them fall overboard, didn’t you, when the boat upset?”
“Sure! Everything went out, as far as I know.”
With each cadet at an oar, the four lads sent the rowboat through the water with good speed, and in less than five minutes were hauling up alongside of the other craft. Those at the oars proved to be Tommy Flanders and Billy Sands. The fellow in the stern, who was smoking a cigarette, was Paul Halliday, while the fourth lad was a stranger to the boys from Colby Hall, although they had seen him in the Longley contingent at the ball games.
“Hello! So you found our boat, did you?” exclaimed Spouter.
