"Keep cool, Rand," advised Don; "it isn't worth while making a fuss over."
"He ought to have his head punched," put in Dick.
"Who?" asked Jack. "Don?"
"No; that fellow in the boat," answered Dick.
"That isn't the way to teach him good manners," objected Jack.
"It's the only way you can teach some people," argued Dick. "Who is he?"
"Oh, that's the man that took our boat up the river," replied Jack.
"What do you think he was trying to do?" went on Dick.
"Trying to steal it, of course," replied Jack.
