been opened to the
serious consequences that may result from these faults.

Clay had learned to regard practical jokes and mocking words in a more
serious light than they had ever appeared to him before, while Nugget
was more self reliant and less timid after the rugged experiences he had
passed through.

Even Ned--to whose constant cool headedness and knowledge of out door
craft the success of the cruise was mainly due--had profited by lessons
of patience and endurance. And he was happy--with that happiness which
comes to one who has benefitted his fellow man--in the consciousness
that he had helped Bug Batters to the commencement of a new and a better
life.

The boys are yet far from the cares and responsibilities of manhood, and
they will probably make more than one cruise in the happy summer
vacations to come, but it is doubtful if brighter memories will ever
dim the cherished wealth of affection they feel for the faded pennant,
the scarred and battered paddles, and the water soaked log book, which
now hangs on the boathouse wall--mute mementoes of the time the Jolly
Rovers paddled down the winding waters of the Conodoguinet.
