"Around here?" "No, further down the lake. I think she was bound for Cayuga." "Did you notice who was on board?" "You seem to be very particular about it." "We are particular.

The Rover brothers were three in number Dick, the oldest and most studious; Tom next, is full of fun as an egg is full of meat, and Sam the youngest. In a former volume of this series, entitled, "The Rover Boys at School," I related how the three youths had been sent by their uncle, Randolph Rover, to Putnam Hall, a military boarding school, situated upon Cayuga Lake, in New York State.

Daniel thinks a great deal of his parent, and when Mr. Baxter was so seriously injured " "Dan didn't care much for that. He isn't that kind." "Daniel is a better boy than you think, John.
