So profound was their sleep that they did not hear the dipping oars of an approaching boat which came down the river after midnight. This boat was dilapidated and leaky but it was a vision of beauty compared to its occupants.

No one, not even Blokey Mattenburg himself, could throw a rock into a trolley car with the precision of Tom Slade. Then, on an evil day, he was tempted to watch the scouts and it proved fatal.
