It was considerably larger, too, and had an enclosed cabin. "That's a dandy!" exclaimed Jerry in spite of himself. "It's a peach!" was Ned's half-spoken comment. "All to the mustard!" came Bob's characteristic comment. "Want a ride, or a tow?" called Charlie Farson, when he got within hailing distance, and he slowed down his craft.
At that moment a shrill whistle sounded just behind the rowboats and the girls turned around to see what it was. Ned and Jerry, from the position in which they sat to handle the oars had seen a motor boat approaching, and they had stopped using the blades to watch its approach. "Oh, that's the Ripper!" exclaimed Rose. "And Charlie Farson is all alone in her. Maybe he'll give us a ride."
"These are some friends of ours from the east," said Rose, introducing Ned and Bob, "There's another one, in that boat with Nellie," she went on, telling Jerry's name. "I'm sure I'm glad to meet you all," said Charlie Farson, with such good nature, that the boys could feel no resentment toward him. "Come aboard, and we'll go for a spin.
"Who is Charlie Farson?" asked Jerry of Nellie. "He's a friend of Rose. He lives in San Francisco, but he is staying with his uncle at a bungalow about two miles from where we are. He owns that motor boat, and it's the biggest and fastest on this part of the coast. Sometimes he takes us out with him. I hope he does so now. He's headed right this way."
