"Well, we're not likely to see much of him." said Jerry. But in this
opinion he was mistaken. They were to see and hear much of him, as
later events proved.

CHAPTER XIV

IN A MOTOR BOAT

SEVERAL days after this, during which time the boys had, under the
escort of the three girls, visited many places of interest, Rose
suggested they make a trip on the bay.

"But what can we go in?" asked Bob. "We haven't any boat."

"We have several rowing skiffs," said Nellie. "I know they are not as
fine as your Dartaway, but you can have a nice time. The fishing is
good, and it is very pleasant on the water."

"It would be pleasant wherever you girls were," said Ned, with an
attempt at gallantry.

"Thank you!" exclaimed Nellie, making a low, bow.

"You're improving, Ned," remarked Jeer, critically. "In time you'll be
able to go out in polite society."

"Oh, is that so'?" remarked Ned, sarcastically, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," retorted Jerry, bowing low.
