The boys resolved to anchor the Whistler off the upper shore of Long Lake that night.
“We’ll leave Jack in charge and take a trip down to Harmony Beach,” suggested Harry.
This suited Jerry, and by half past six the two boys were on board the open cars on their way to the great Summer resort. They enjoyed the ride very much, especially Jerry who had never been to the beach before. They visited the hotels and had supper, and then listened to a band concert.
It was after eleven o’clock before they were ready to return to the Whistler.
As they were making their way back to the cars Jerry caught Harry by the arm.
“Look! Look!”
Harry looked, and in a crowd of people saw Wash Crosby. Not far away stood Si Peters.
Both were swaggering around as if they had plenty of money and wanted everybody to know it.
“What shall we do?” asked Harry.
“I hardly know,” replied Jerry. “I feel certain in my mind that they robbed the Rockpoint Hotel in spite of what the detectives think.”
