"Hurrah!" exclaimed several of the members, jumping out of their chairs in the excitement of the moment. "Let us buy another boat!"
"What shall we call her?" added Dick Chestor.
Several of the boys began to exercise their minds on this important question, without devoting any more attention to the propriety or the practicability of procuring another boat. That question was regarded as already settled.
"Ay, what shall we call her?" repeated Joseph Hooper.
"What do you say to the 'Lily?'"
"The 'Water Sprite?'"
"The 'Go-ahead?'"
"Name her after Mr. Walker."
"No; after Tony Weston."
"You are counting the chickens before they are hatched," added Tony, laughing heartily.
