“The boats gone!” cried Gif. “Are you sure?”
“Look for yourself, Gif. We left them tied to the dock, didn’t we?”
“We sure did.”
The two boats that had been left at the bungalow dock were certainly missing, and much mystified the six boys landed, to gaze around in bewilderment. But gaze as hard as they might, they could see nothing of the missing craft.
“Do you suppose Tommy Flanders and his crowd took them away?” questioned Jack.
“I wouldn’t put it past them,” answered Gif.
Fred and Randy had turned toward the front door of the bungalow. The key to this was hanging on a nail, and taking it down they unlocked the door and threw it open. As they passed into the house a cry of astonishment broke from them.
“Did you ever see anything like it before?”
“Who did this?”
“What’s the matter in there?” called out Gif.
