Where, we know not, yet storm-driven ships have seen them. These I mean to find, and for such a distant quest one ship is better than two." So sunnily looked down the great man at the slighter one, so joyous at the thought of that voyage into the mists of the southern seas that Ulf rover to the marrow held out his hand in silence, and the compact was made.
"I reckon we are safe enough here," said Dan Baxter, as they halted in the shed and crouched down back of a pile of boards. "Yes, but we can't stay here forever," replied Lew Flapp. "We can stay as long as they hang around, Flapp." In the meantime the Rover Boys reached the entrance to the yard, and Dick, who had kept the lead, called a halt. "I am pretty certain they ran in here," he declared.
We proceeded, therefore, through the wood, sweet in the dew of morning, among many twittering birds, and so came, presently, to the end of my path, where the little gate shuts it off from my mowing meadow; at the upper end of which, it may be remembered, the good ship Sea Rover lay anchored.
The father was a great traveler, and for years the boys had made their home with their uncle, Randolph Rover, and their Aunt Martha, on a farm called Valley Brook, in the heart of New York state. From the farm, and while their father was in Africa, the boys had been sent to Putnam Hall, as related in the first volume of this series, entitled, "The Rover Boys at School."
Miss Elting reported that the "Red Rover" was leaking, that the launch had crushed in a plank on the side. "Stuff clothing in the hole," ordered Jane. "Here you, Mr. Man, please go in there and see if you can't nail up the broken place. You've got to do something or you'll never set foot on land again." Off in the camp of the Tramp Club there was great excitement.
Tom took a few steps forward and gazed down into the swiftly-flowing stream. "Perhaps he is pinned under the auto, Sam!" "Wait, I'll get the searchlight," cried the younger Rover, and ran back to their automobile. The boys made a point of carrying an electric pocket searchlight to be used in case they had to make repairs in the dark.
Where is Willie?" was the low response, the tone thrilling Mrs. Worthington again with emotion. Even 'Lina started, it was so musical, and coming near she answered: "If it's the baby you mean, he is here, playing with Rover." There was a look of gratitude in the brown eyes, which closed again wearily.
"All right, mind you do." And then the guide released his hold, but continued to sit as he was, astride of poor Tom's chest. "Have you got him?" came from Dan Baxter. "Yes," returned the big guide. "All right; then hold him." "I will." Leaving Sam to be watched by Jasper Grinder, Baxter ran over to one of the sleds and procured a long rope. "Now then, Tom Rover, get up," he said sourly.
She now remembered, in the person and countenance of the Rover, the form and features of the individual who had spoken the passing Bristol trader, from the rigging of the slaver a form which had unaccountably haunted her imagination, during her residence in his ship, like an image recalled from some dim and distant period.
Look on a map at the position of Iceland, and you will see at once that it should not be classed as a European island. It belongs to North America. It was, in fact, unknown to modern Europe until the year 861 A.D., when it was discovered by Nadodd, a Norse rover.
