It was a glorious river trip. The desert shone and glistened in the sun, the mountains laughed from under their white caps, the river sang its everlasting song of peace and quiet!

The boys took a month to reach Yuma. There the Rambler was placed on board a platform car and started on its journey eastward. It was the plan to ship the motor boat to as near the head waters of the Mississippi as possible and sail down that mighty stream in the early fall.

An account of this exciting trip will be found in the next volume of this series, entitled:

“The Motor Boat Boys on the Mississippi; or, the Trail to the Gulf!”
