I will sling this poor little fellow in my blanket and carry him home to his mother. See, Cecil, what is Rover at?" Rover was on his hind legs against the tree, smelling at something. When they came to look, there was a wee little grey bear perched in the hollow of the tree. "What a very strange place for a young bear!" said Cecil.
"It's mine by right," he said. "It wouldn't be fair to elect anybody else." "But Dick Rover and Larry Colby stand almost as high," said one of the cadets. "Captain Putnam said your average was 96 per cent., while Rover's average was 95 per cent., and Larry Colby's was 94 per cent. A difference of one or two per cent. out of a possible hundred isn't much."
"I presume you know why I have sent for you," said the captain briefly. "Since the disappearance of Captain Rover I have been making an investigation. Rover himself would not talk, but others have spoken, and Rover has not denied the truth. All of you have been guilty of such serious misconduct that to overlook it would be almost criminal on my part." "What have I done?" asked Lew Flapp brazenly.
I had a dog they ca'ed Mettle it was a son o' poor Rover, that I mentioned to ye before, Weel, it had been raining through the night, and Mettle had been out in the street. The instinct o' the poor dumb brute was puzzled to comprehend the change that had recently taken place in my appearance and habits, and its curiosity was excited.
A very few days were sufficient to refit the Rover, and to store and provision her ready for sea. This time, however, she was ordered to cruise along the coasts of San Domingo and Porto Rico, towards the Leeward Islands. At length she ran farther south, and came off the harbour of Point-a-Pitre, in the Island of Guadaloupe.
"We are bound to run her down sooner or later." Inside of half an hour the two boats had passed the Statute of Liberty. The course of the Flyaway was now straight down the bay, and the Rover boys began to wonder where Dan Baxter and his crowd might be bound. "They must have Dora a close prisoner," mused Dick, with a sad shake of his head.
He was right, a well defined trail or footpath lay before them, running between the brushwood and palms and around the rocks. It did not look as if it had been used lately, but it was tolerably clear of any growth. This was something the Rover boys had not counted on, for Bahama Bill had never spoken of any trail in his descriptions of the isle. They gazed at the path with curiosity.
Rover that the boys should next go to college, and he selected an institution of learning located in the Middle West, not far from the town of Ashton. Brill College was a fine place, and the Rovers knew they would like it as soon as they saw it. With them went their old-time school chum, Songbird Powell, already mentioned.
"Let us go ashore without delay!" said Songbird, who was sorry he had not accompanied the Rover boys. "That's what I say!" added Fred. "We can take plenty of lights." "I vos not von pit sleepy," declared Hans. "I go kvick, of you said so, Mr. Rofer." "If yo' go, don't forgit Aleck!" pleaded the colored man. "You shall go, Aleck," answered Mr.
This rover about the country knew much of the habits of birds and beasts and insects, and told anecdotes of them with a mixture of humour and pathos, which fascinated Tom's attention, made him laugh heartily, and sometimes brought tears into his big blue eyes. They dined at an inn by the wayside, and the dinner was mirthful; then they wended their way slowly back.
