“Some adventures we’re having,” declared Jack. But still more stirring times were in store for the boys, and what some of them were will be related in another volume, to be called, “The Rover Boys Shipwrecked; Or, A Thrilling Hunt for Pirates’ Gold.”
During those days Jack got another letter from Ruth in which she said she was very thankful that matters were being straightened out for her father and her Uncle Barney.
Then one day came a surprise for the boys. Two motor-boats came in from Beldane and on them were all the girls, accompanied by Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Dick Rover, and Mr. and Mrs. Garrison.
“We’ve come to stay a week!” cried Martha Rover.
“And we expect you to entertain us royally,” came from her cousin Mary.
“We’ll do that, all right enough,” answered Jack quickly, and with his eyes full on Ruth.
“We’ll give you the best times ever!” exclaimed Fred.
“When you go away you’ll say Big Bear Lake is as nice a spot as you ever visited,” put in Randy.
“And you’ll want to come here every year,” finished his twin.
And here while the Rover boys and their chums are getting ready to give the girls a glorious time, we will say good-by.
