"Why not?" asked Bob. "Because well, because," and she laughed a little uneasily. "That's just like a girl," remarked Jerry, good-naturedly. "They don't want you to do a thing, but they can't tell you why." "Well, it's just an uneasy feeling I have toward Mr. Blowitz, that's all," went on Nellie.
"It is not often that I see lads away off east and meet them a little later, in California, so I must have the pleasure of their company for a little while. The young ladies too I'm very fond of young ladies," and Mr. Blowitz smiled in a manner that Rose characterized later as "ugly," though just why she thought so she couldn't explain.
Still, there was light enough for the boys to make out landmarks, and distinguish objects when they came near the low cliff, on which they had seen Blowitz and the other man. "There's the place," called Ned suddenly, from his position near the wheel. "That's right," admitted Jerry. "Better put us in near that rock where we talked to Blowitz. We can fasten the boat there and go ashore.
"We're not going far, and we'll keep near shore," replied Jerry. "It does act as if it was going to blow a bit, but I guess it will not amount to much." There was quite a swell on as they got further out, and the Ripper rolled some, but the boys and girls were too good sailors to mind that. "I wonder if we'll meet Mr. Blowitz again," came from Nellie, after a period of silence.
"Probably getting some more information about the brig Rockhaven," suggested Ned. "Maybe that's a seaman who has some news of her." By this time the motor boat was quite close to the two men, who, however, did not seem to notice the Ripper. There was no question about the identity of Mr. Blowitz. The other man was a stranger to the boys and girls.
De Vere, promising to call on the boys and pay them their prize money as soon as he had seen his lawyer, and deposited the gold and papers in a safe place, bade them good-bye at the wharf, and hurried off. He was fearful lest he should be intercepted by some agent of Blowitz, though there was no sign that the tug had arrived. The three boys were warmly welcomed by the girls and Mr.
The poisonous fumes were dispersed, and, with their disappearance, the others regained their senses. Mr. De Vere was the next to arouse. "What what happened?" he asked. "I don't know," replied Jerry, "unless Blowitz came aboard and chloroformed us." "He couldn't do that yet the safe is not tampered with but this drowsy feeling " Mr. De Vere stopped suddenly.
I found the Viennese comic papers full of the old anti-Semitic jokes, hashed up, I have little doubt, by the same journalists who are supposed to judaize the press of Europe. Even so in America, are not the Jewish caricatures in Puck often done by a brother of M. de Blowitz?
Nearer and nearer approached the steam tug, for the pilot had, evidently, not taken into consideration the fact that the Ripper was going ahead at reduced speed. Soon it was close enough for the boys, without the aid of the glasses, to make out the figure of Blowitz. "I must go outside," announced Mr. De Vere. "Give me a hand, Jerry, so I won't stumble and hurt my broken arm."
They shook hands with Mr. Blowitz, and Jerry introduced himself, his chums, the young ladies and Professor Snodgrass, and told, briefly, the object of their trip. "Well isn't that nice, now," said Mr. Blowitz, when Jerry had finished. "The professor comes out here to hunt horned toads, and you lads come to hunt adventures, Mr.
