Each lad was handed a bank book by the president, after the latter had expressed his appreciation of their splendid work. The bank books showed that Steve Rush and Bob Jarvis had a thousand dollars apiece placed to their credit in the bank.
Their work had been well done. They had done their duty, they had risked their lives and they had won. Their patriotism for the great industrial cause had carried them on to a triumphant success. Next season they were to try themselves out in new fields, where they were destined to distinguish themselves in a marked manner.
Their further experiences will be told in a following volume entitled, "The Iron Boys on the Ore Boats; Or, Roughing it on the Great Lakes."
