[The Rover Boys on Land and Sea by Arthur M. Winfield]@TWC D-Link bookThe Rover Boys on Land and Sea CHAPTER XVI 2/9
"I'm afraid I can't work that way.
When I have something to do I'm not content until it is done." "Are you hot, Sam? Here is something to cool you off." As Tom spoke he playfully scooped up a handful of water and threw it at his brother. Soon the two boys were having lots of sport, throwing handfuls of the salty water at each other.
Then Sam made a motion as if he was going to push Tom overboard with his paddle. "Hi! none of that!" cried Tom.
"I don't mind a wetting by retail, but I don't want it by wholesale." He continued to throw water at Sam and the youngest Rover tried to dodge.
The raft began to rock, and of a sudden Sam lost his balance and went into the bay with a splash. Tom set up a laugh, for it was a comical sight, and it had been Sam's own fault that he went overboard.
