"It's an airship!" "There are three people on board!" "Say, doesn't she sail along beautifully!" "Wonder if they are sailing across the state." "Maybe they are in the ocean-to-ocean race." "They look like three boys! See, two of them are waving flags! Now what do you think of that!" "I'm going to get my spyglass," said one of the under teachers, and ran to do so.

In the meantime the _Dartaway_ came closer and circled slowly over the main college building and the broad campus.

"What are they up to ?" From the bottom of the craft had suddenly burst a cluster of red, white and blue tissue-paper streamers.

These floated under and behind the _Dartaway_, producing a beautiful effect.

"The Rover boys!" cried the teacher who had brought out his spyglass.
"They are the three Rover boys!" "The Rover boys!" cried Songbird Powell, who stood near.
