Dick Hamilton's Steam Yacht; Or, A Young Millionaire and the Kidnappers
John Stuart Mill · en
Mr. Larabee did not stay long in Hamilton Corners. He and Grit did not
get on at all well together, and the old man had to be constantly on the
lookout for the bulldog, who took delight in hiding in dark places, and
unexpectedly making a dash for the old man's legs, growling fiercely.
Perhaps the animal would not have bitten him, but Mr. Larabee said it
made him nervous. So, after begging Dick's forgiveness, which the young
millionaire freely offered, the crabbed old man went back to Dankville,
sadder, and, perhaps, wiser, in a way.
Dick, on thinking the whole affair over, came to the conclusion that,
after all, he had rather enjoyed it than otherwise, and so had his
chums, though they had been in danger at times.
Henry Darby found his old iron business more prosperous than ever. Frank
Bender said he felt so fine from the cruise that he could do a number
of new "stunts," and was sure of getting a place in a circus. As for Tim
Muldoon, he declared he was going to sell an account of the yachting
trip to some New York newspaper, and get a lot of money for it.
Paul Drew and Innis Beeby returned to their homes after the New England
cruise, both declaring they had never before so enjoyed a vacation, and,
as for the fat cadet, he had enough pictures to stock a photo-supply
shop.
Dick kept his yacht in commission until nearly time for the military
academy to open, and, in company with Captain Barton and Widdy, and with
some of his friends for guests, enjoyed several short cruises.
Murdock, Newton, Guy and Simon dropped out of sight for a time, after
being taken to Santiago, where, following a short imprisonment, they
were released.
And so ends the story of Dick Hamilton's yachting trip, but it was not
the last of the stirring times he had, in which his millions played a
part, for he and Grit were destined for other adventures.
THE END.
