“I’m glad of it,” replied Jim. “Well, I wonder what is in store for us in the future?”
“Oh, nothing much, I guess,” laughed Don. “I guess we’ll study through the spring, play a little baseball, and then go home for a summer vacation. You know, we have a plain vacation, while the first and second class go to camp.”
“Just the same,” maintained Jim, stoutly. “I’ll bet we’ll have some more adventures. We just can’t seem to keep out of things.”
“Perhaps you’ll go sailing again,” suggested Terry.
“Maybe,” said Don. “I don’t really know. But I guess nothing exciting will happen to us.”
But Don was wrong. During the summer vacation a great many dangers and adventures fell to the lot of the three boys. Their wanderings carried them far afield and they found even more stirring adventures than they had yet encountered. What happened to them will be related in the third volume of the Mercer Boys Series entitled: The Mercer Boys on a Treasure Hunt.
