to be entitled, "The Rover Boys Under Canvas;
Or, The Mystery of the Wrecked Submarine." In that volume we shall meet
many of our old friends again, and learn the particulars of some
out-of-the-ordinary happenings.

"Well, I'm mighty glad they're gone," said Fred, after the visitors had
disappeared in the distance.

"Glad doesn't express it!" added Andy. "I could fairly dance a jig for
joy!"

"And to think we saved the treasure box!" broke in Jack.

"That's the best of all," came from Randy.

Old Uncle Barney was exceedingly happy, not only to have the box
restored to him, but also because the trouble between himself and his
relatives had been completely cleared away.

"I guess I was something of an old fool to quarrel with Fred and his
family," he remarked to Jack later on, when talking the matter over. "It
shows that a man should not be too hasty and headstrong. If I had only
listened in the first place, all this would never have happened."

"I'm glad you're friends once more," said Jack.

"I owe you boys a great deal for this, just as I owe you a great deal
for saving the treasure box and saving my life in the woods that time,"
answered the old lumberman with feeling.

The next day was spent by Uncle Barney and Mr. Stevenson in going over
the matter of the deeds. Ruth's father insisted upon it that they be
duly recorded and then placed away in a bank vault. It may be added
here that later on this was done, and, later still, the zinc ore beds on
the island were opened up and found to be fully as valuable as
anticipated. Old Uncle Barney became quite a rich man, and took up his
home with the other Stevensons.

While the Stevensons were consulting about the deeds, the Rover boys
went out on another hunt, this time accompanied by Mr. Powell, who was
quite a sportsman. They had considerable luck, bringing in over a dozen
rabbits, four squirrels and several partridges.

"And now we've got to get ready to go home," said Jack, a day or two
later.

"Yes. And get ready for the grind at Colby Hall," added Fred.

"But we've had some dandy times on this island!" declared Andy.

"Couldn't have been better!" came in a chorus.

And here we will say good-bye to the Rover boys.
