Bobbsey wondered why so valuable a dog would leave its home. And he was very much puzzled as to what he should do if the children insisted on keeping the animal, and if it came aboard the trolley car. "There's the car!" exclaimed Bert, as they went around another turn in the path and came to a road.
"You are right, my friend; that is a noble sentiment," observed the admiral; "and I would urge our friends who are dissatisfied with the state of affairs at home to place themselves under your command." "From the expressions our host has uttered, I may hope that he also will render valuable aid to our undertaking," observed the captain.
