For the man of milder tastes the motorboat will suffice or the mail steamer, which plies the waters of Lake Tahoe twice a week. In tobogganing, the hills and open meadows at Tahoe City and at Glenbrook will furnish royal sport for the devotee. Skating and ice-yachting must be sought in regions where the snow is less deep and the cold more intense.
"That's what they are, and good ones, too!" cried Russ. "Gee! They don't look it!" was the frank remark, and the two girls broke into peals of laughter. Paul and Russ showed Ruth and Alice over the big motorboat, and then leaving the three to their own devices for a while, the young camera operator went into details of the work with the head mechanic.
All the regular boys and girls in town thoroughly disliked "the set," but there were a few girls who were willing to put up with Percy Falconer and his crowd for sake of the long motor rides, dances, dinners and motorboat picnics that the boys were able to give them.
"Aw, say, quit your joshin' me," said Bruce, "that's a real word. It means ah er well " "Sure it does, we knew it all the time, didn't we, Romper?" said Nipper Knapp. "That's exactly what it means," said Bud quite soberly. "Well, it means that we've been putting off work. We haven't come down to brass tacks. And now we're up against it and our motorboat proposition falls through," snapped Bruce.
At the same moment Reddy twisted the wheel ever so little to starboard. The Duchess was traveling at a good clip. The wave at her nose was foam-streaked and spreading broadly. The water in her wake boiled. The sudden thrust Purt gave the dog cast the surprised brute overboard; with a yelp of amazement he sank beneath the foam-streaked surface as the motorboat rushed on.
And, by Jove! if the moon's out, you'll have a glimpse of the motorboat. She's moored just out beyond our boat-house; and it's a privilege to look at her, I can tell you!" The dispersal of his guests carried Stilling out into the hall, where his pleasantries reverberated under the oak rafters while the Granger girls were being muffled for the drive and the carriages summoned from the stables.
Somewhere off that peninsula, just where had not been decided, the moving pictures would be made, and the shipwreck would take place. The details had not yet been perfected. "Are you going to travel alone in the motorboat?" asked Alice of Russ. "No indeed. She is to be carried in a cradle on the deck of the Mary Ellen, and " "A cradle!" interrupted Alice.
Let's go back to the hotel now, and while you two scouts are gone scouting, the rest of us will find something to entertain us. Maybe we'll take a motorboat ride." They started back at once and were soon at the hotel.
"Well, I shall have more to say to you about that later." He again began to tinker with the engine and the motorboat now increased its pace; and then, as the man raised his head to look at Frank, he perceived two dark figures suddenly clamber over the rail and dash toward him. Frank saw them in the same instant. "Jack!" he cried.
Terabon ran his hand around the man's head and neck, found the lump near the base of the skull, found that the neck wasn't broken, and made sure that the heart was beating things a reporter naturally learns to do in police-station and hospital experience. Jet brought the motorboat down to the stern of the cabin-boat, and the four carried Carline on board.
