The Rover Boys on the Ocean By Edward Stratemeyer

"Hurrah, Sam, it is settled at last that we are to go to boarding school!" "Are you certain, Tom? Don't let me raise any false hopes." "Yes, I am certain, for I heard Uncle Randolph tell Aunt Martha that he wouldn't keep us in the house another week. He said he would rather put up with the Central Park menagerie-think of that!" and Tom Rover began to laugh. "That's rather rough on us, but I don't know but what we deserve it," answered Sam Rover, Tom's younger brother. "We have been giving it pretty strong lately, with playing tricks on Sarah the cook, Jack the hired man, and Uncle Randolph's pet dog Alexander. But then we had to do something-or go into a dry rot. Life in the country is all well enough, but it's mighty slow for me." "I guess it is slow for anybody brought up in New York, Sam. Why, the first week I spent here I thought the stillness would kill me. I couldn't actually go to sleep because it was so quiet. I wish uncle and aunt would move to the city. They have money enough." "Aunt Martha likes to be quiet, and uncle is too much wrapped up in the art of scientific farming, as he calls it. I'll wager he'll stay on this farm experimenting and writing works on agriculture until he dies. Well, it's a good enough way to do, I suppose, but it wouldn't suit me. I want to see something of life-as father did." "So do I. Perhaps we'll see something when we get to boarding school." "Where are we to go?" "I don't know. Some strict institution, you can be sure of that. Uncle Randolph told aunty it was time the three of us were taken in hand.

"For gracious sake! what's that racket?" exclaimed Dick Rover, as he threw down the newspaper he was reading and leaped to his feet. "Sounds to me as if there was a battle royal going on," returned his younger brother, Sam, who was at a desk in the library of the old farmhouse, writing a letter. "It's those boys!" exclaimed Tom Rover, as he tossed aside a copy of a comic paper which he had been looking over. "I'll wager they're up to some mischief again." "Well, if they are your boys, Tom, you mustn't find fault with them," answered Sam Rover, with a twinkle in his eye. "If ever there were chips of the old block, your twins are It with a capital I." "Humph!" snorted Tom Rover. "I don't think Andy and Randy are much ahead of your Fred when it comes to playing tricks, and I think Dick's Jack can hold up his end too." "Never mind about that just now," broke in Dick Rover, hastily. "Let's go out and see what those kids are up to." "All right. But don't be too severe with 'em," pleaded Tom Rover. "Remember, boys will be boys." "That's true, Tom. But we've got to take 'em in hand sooner or later," remonstrated his brother Sam. "If we don't, they'll grow up the wildest bunch ever known." A number of cries of alarm and protest, mingled with fierce cheering, had reached the house from the garden just beyond the broad veranda. As the three Rover brothers hurried through the hallway and outside, the yelling and cheering were renewed. Then, just as Tom Rover stepped out on the veranda, there was a sudden swish and a stream of water from a garden hose caught him directly in the left ear.

"We're making time now, Tom." "Making time?" repeated Tom Rover as he gazed out of the car window at the telegraph poles flashing past. "I should say we were, Sam! Why, we must be running sixty miles an hour!" "If we are not we are making pretty close to it," came from a third boy of the party in the parlor car. "I think the engineer is trying to make up some of the time we lost at the last stop." "That must be it, Dick," said Sam Rover. "Gracious, how we are rocking!" he added as the train rushed around a sharp curve and nearly threw him from his chair. "I hope we get to Ashton on time," remarked Tom Rover. "I want to take a look around the grounds before it gets dark." "That's Tom, wanting to see it all before he sleeps!" cried Sam Rover with a grin. "You look out, Tom, that you don't get into disgrace the first thing, as you did when we went to Putnam Hall Don't you remember that giant firecracker, and how Josiah Crabtree locked you up in a cell for setting it off?" "Ugh! Will I ever forget it!" groaned Tom, making a wry face. "But I got the best of old Crabtree, didn't I?" he continued, his face brightening. "Wonder if we'll make as many friends at college as we did at Putnam Hall," remarked Dick Rover. "Those were jolly times and no mistake! Think of the feasts, and the hazings, and the baseball and football, and the rackets with the Pornell students, and all that!" "Speaking of hazing, I heard that some of the hazing at the college we're bound for is fierce," came from Sam Rover.

"Line up, fellows! No crowding ahead in this contest." "Here, Jack, give me some elbow room if you want me to do any real snowball throwing!" cried Fred Rover. "All the elbow room you want," returned his cousin gayly. "Remember the prize!" shouted Andy Rover to the cadets who were stringing themselves out in a ragged line. "The first fellow to throw a snowball over the top of the barn gets a sock doughnut." "For gracious sake! what do you call a sock doughnut?" demanded Phil Franklin, another cadet, as he paused in the act of rounding up a snowball he was making. "A sock doughnut is one with a big hole in it," answered Andy, with a grin. "Then my socks must be all of the doughnut variety," put in one of the cadets dolefully. "They are always full of holes." "Never mind the socks now!" cried Randy Rover. "Let's see who can put the first snowball over the barn." It was late in the afternoon of a day in January and a number of the cadets of Colby Hall had been amusing themselves in the snow which covered the ground to a depth of nearly a foot. They had started in to snowballing each other, but had then grown more serious and had built several snow forts and likewise two or three snowmen which later they had taken great sport in knocking apart. Then some one had suggested that they try their skill at seeing who could throw, the highest and farthest, and this had led to the present contest.

The essay delves into the principles and characteristics of effective writing style.Key points from "The Philosophy of Style" include:Clarity and Economy of Expression: Spencer emphasizes the importance of clear and concise writing.

He advocates for a style that minimizes unnecessary complexity and allows the reader to focus on the substance of the message.Organic Metaphors: Spencer uses organic metaphors to describe the development of a piece of writing. He compares the growth of a sentence to the growth of a living organism, emphasizing the idea that each part should contribute to the overall harmony and effectiveness of the whole.Rhythm and Parallelism: Spencer discusses the importance of rhythm and parallelism in writing. He argues that a well-constructed sentence should have a natural flow and balance, contributing to the overall aesthetic quality of the writing.Emphasis on the Reader's Experience: Spencer emphasizes that good writing considers the reader's experience. Writers should be aware of how their words will be received and strive to make the reading experience as engaging and comprehensible as possible."The Philosophy of Style" has been influential in the field of rhetoric and has contributed to discussions on the art and science of effective communication.

¿I¿ll race you.¿¿Done! Are you ready?¿ ¿I am.¿¿Then off we go.¿THE YOUNG OARSMEN OF LAKEVIEWCHAPTER IJERRY, HARRY, AND BLUMPOQuicker than it can be related, four oars fell into the water and four sturdy arms bent to the task of sending two beautiful single-shell craft skimming over the smooth surface of the lake.It was a spirited scene, and attracted not a little attention, for both of the contestants were well known.¿Go it, Jerry! You can beat him if you try!¿¿Don¿t let him get ahead, Harry. Keep closer to the shore!¿ ¿How far is the race to be?¿¿Up to the big pine tree and back.¿¿That¿s a full mile and more. I¿ll bet on Jerry Upton.¿¿And I¿ll bet on Harry Parker. He has more skill than Jerry.¿ ¿But Jerry has the muscle.¿¿There they go, side by side!¿And thus the talking and shouting went on along the lake front. Most of the boys present were members of the Lakeview Boat Club, but there were others of the town there, too, as enthusiastic as the rest.2It was a clear, warm day in June. The summer holidays at the various institutes of learning in the vicinity had just begun, so many of the lads had nothing to do but to enjoy themselves.There were not a few craft out besides the two shells to which we have drawn attention. But they drew out of the way to give the racers a free field.On and on went Jerry and Harry until the big pine was reached. Then came the turn, and they started on the home stretch side by side, neither one foot ahead of the other.¿It¿s going to be a tie race.¿¿Pull, Harry! Let yourself out!¿ ¿Show him what you can do, Jerry!¿Encouraged by the shouts of their friends, both boys increase their speed. But the increase on both sides was equal, and still the boats kept bow and bow as they neared the boathouse.¿It¿s going to be a tie, sure enough.¿¿Spurt a bit, Jerry!¿¿Go it for all yoüre worth, Harry!¿Again the two contestants put forth additional muscle, each to out-distant his opponent, and again the two row-boats leaped forward, still side by side.As old Jack Broxton, the keeper of the boathouse, said afterward: ¿It would have taken twelve judges, sitting twelve days, to have told which had the advantage.¿The finishing point was now less than five hundred feet distant, and in a few seconds more the race would be over. The crowd began to stop shouting, almost breathless with pent-up interest. It was surely the prettiest race that had ever been rowed on Otasco Lake.Splash!The splash was followed by a splutter, and then a frantic cry for help. A portion of the high float in front of the boathouse had unexpectedly given way, and a short, stocky, reddish-black youth had gone floundering over board.¿Blumpo Brown has gone under.¿
