“It is the Peters’ yacht, sure enough,” replied Jerry, after studying the craft.
“If she cums dis way, we’ll hab lively times,” remarked Blumpo.
“That’s true, Blumpo. Come, maybe we can get away from her.”
The boys kept steadily on their course, and for a long time those on the yacht seemed to pay no attention to them.

“Mind your own business, Si Peters,” retorted Harry.
“You won’t stop?”
“No. Leave us alone.”
