Chapter VII
AT THE BOATHOUSE "I wonder if Ham and Carl will attempt to get at our outfit," said Shep, the evening before the start was to be made. "Well, we mustn't forget that they blew up the old boathouse before," answered Snap. "Of course, they may be afraid to try on the same thing---they'd know they'd be in danger of arrest." "Let us go down and take a look at the things," put in Whopper. "I wouldn't want to have anything happen to the outfit for a million dollars."
