"Did you try to find him?"
"No, because I didn't want to leave the houseboat alone."
"Did you see him last night—while our colored man was here?"
"I saw somebody, but it was too dark to make out exactly who it was."
CHAPTER XVIII
ON BOARD THE HOUSEBOAT
After questioning Captain Starr as closely as possible all three of the Rover boys came to the conclusion that it must have been Dan Baxter who had visited the Dora on the sly.
"I don't like this at all," said Sam. "He is going to make trouble for us—no two ways about that."
"The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to get away without delay," said Tom. "He won't find it so easy to follow us then."
"I'm going to throw him off the scent," said Dick.
