Soon one of the policemen came up, and then, much against his will, the head of the firm of Pelter, Japson & Company was handcuffed like his partner in crime. "You'll suffer for this, Rover; see if you don't!" growled Jesse Pelter, after the excitement was over. "I have done nothing wrong, and I can prove it.
"It's father!" yelled Dick. "Stop that schooner! Stop her, I say!" "Get back there!" exclaimed Josiah Crabtree, catching Mr. Rover by the arm. "Get back, I say! Help me, somebody! This man is crazy!" He and Jesse Pelter hustled Anderson Rover back, and then the boys saw their father disappear from view. Swiftly the tug and the schooner gathered headway. The boys shouted in vain.
Tom and Sam were once more enjoying the spectacle of looking at themselves when they suddenly heard a young man behind them utter an exclamation. "Hello, I know those two fellows!" They looked around and saw sitting there Barton Pelter. He was gazing at the play on the screen with great interest.
"That's the best news yet!" cried Dick, and his face showed his relief. "Yes, it is even better than this news you sent me that Pelter and Japson have been captured." "Well, I am mighty glad we rounded up those rascals," said the son. "So am I." "Did Sam say anything about Crabtree?" "He said Crabtree was about the same.

They passed numerous boats, but not one that looked like the craft they were after. "Well, here we are, at the spot where Crabtree and Pelter got aboard," said Dick, a while later. "So, either we have missed them, or else the Ellen Rodney went up the river instead of down."

The hall door opened with a loud bang and a woman's noisy laugh could be heard as a pelter of high-heeled shoes came along the tesselated hall and then the vision of a pretty girl at the doorway, accompanied by a man and two women. "Hallo, Jack! You are home before me, then." "Bella, my dear, I must introduce you to an old friend of mine: Meynell, my wife." Bella bowed a little coldly.
