[The Rover Boys on Land and Sea by Arthur M. Winfield]@TWC D-Link bookThe Rover Boys on Land and Sea CHAPTER XXX 13/14
"After what has happened he will not dare to show his face again." But Dan Baxter did show himself, and what he did to harm the Rover boys in the future will be told in another volume of this series, entitled "The Rover Boys in Camp; or The Rivals of Pine Island," in which we shall meet many of our old friends again.
It may be as well to mention here that Baxter and two sailors escaped from the seven islands just one week after our friends left it. The others, including Jack Lesher, lost their lives while in a quarrel over the last bottle of rum which the mate had brought with him from the burning wreck.
Their taking off was an awful example of the evils of intemperance. It was soon seen that Bostwick was not seriously burnt, and before the trip to Honolulu was over he was able to sit up and to walk a little.
The wounds of those who had been shot proved slight. "We are well out of that adventure," said Tom one evening, as the Rover boys and the girls sat on the deck in the starlight.
"And I don't know as I want to go through anything like it again." "All I am thinking of is home, sweet home," said Sam. "Just what was in my mind," answered Dick.
