"Dot's the talk!" came from Hans. "I would like to see you cotch dot Flapp and Paxter mineselluf." "I'll use the tug," said Dick. He summoned the captain and explained the situation. It was found that steam on the tug was low, but Captain Carson said he would get ready to move down the stream with all possible speed.
"We'll have a little jollification of our own," said Rockley, and his plan was speedily carried into effect, in a fashion which would not have been approved by Captain Putnam or any of the teachers under him. "We must get after Dick Rover," said Flapp, while smoking a black-looking cigar. "As a captain he stands pretty high.
"There you are," he said to the stakeholder. Lew Flapp had not expected this, but he quickly covered the one dollar with a five, feeling sure he was going to win. "You'll never see your two dollars again, Powell," he said. "Perhaps you'll never see your six again," answered Songbird, and moved away to watch the race from another point along the island shore.
"Hum! Flapp, you may go and bathe your nose, which I see is bleeding, and then come to Captain Putnam's office. The others can come to the office with me." George Strong led the way, and Tom, Sam, and Harry Moss followed. The teacher took along the boat chain and made Harry show where he had been struck. Captain Putnam looked very grave when the affair was explained to him.
Some were on the rings and bars, others were using the parallel bars and horses, and still others were at the pulling and lifting machines. In one corner two of the boys were boxing, while another was hammering a punching bag as hard as he could. The boy at the punching bag was a tall, big-boned youth, named Lew Flapp.
They leaped on the deck and entered the sumptuous living room. "This is fine," murmured Lew Flapp. "They must be living like nabobs on this craft." "You're right. A piano and a guitar, too." Baxter passed into the dining room. "Real silver on the table. Flapp, we've struck luck." "Sure." "That silver is worth just so much money, when we need the funds." "Would you sell it?" "Why not?
"I knew you would win," said Powell, when the excitement was over. "I bet with Lew Flapp on the result. Garling was stakeholder." "What did you win, Songbird"? "Six dollars." "Gracious! You went in pretty deep. "Flapp called me a coward when I told him I didn't want to bet, so I had to take him up," went on Songbird. "Had it been anybody else I might have given the money back.
Dick took especial care to avoid Lew Flapp, and the tall youth did not attempt to bother him. It was soon learned that Flapp was more of a braggart than anything else, and then even some of the smaller boys grew less afraid of him.
"We can smuggle no end of good things here from the nearest village and come whenever we have our off time." "Perhaps we can do more than that," said Flapp, struck with a sudden idea. "What"? asked the others. "I'll tell you some other time. It's a great find," continued the tall boy. In the meantime those left at the camp had surrounded Dick and were congratulating him on his victory.
"We have got to get out of this neighborhood in railroad time or the jig's up," he added. "Well, I'm willing." It did not take long to catch up to the houseboat, which was drifting down the river in the fashion it had pursued before being towed by the Lunch. Flapp and Hamp Gouch were waiting impatiently on the deck. "Got 'em?" asked Lew Flapp.
