"Silence, forward!" said Frank, shaking his head as a gesture of warning to the boys not to provoke any ill nature. "Who yer lookin' at?" cried Tim Bunker, as the Thunderbolt came near the Zephyr.

ingular spectacle. CHAPTER XIV THE COLLISION Joe Braman, the alleged proprietor of the Thunderbolt, was an idle, dissolute fellow, who employed his time in gunning, fishing, and loitering about the dramshops of Rippleton. He lived on the north shore. How he obtained his living, it would have been difficult to determine. Tim Bunker was an especial favorite with Braman, and people said it was because there was a natural sympathy between them. Joe's boat was a long, flat-bottomed affair, not very graceful in its form or construction. With the exception of Captain Sedley's sailboat and the club boat, it was, perhaps, the only boat on the lake; and small parties occasionally engaged Joe to take them out fishing in it. The history of its present appearance was sufficiently plain to the Zephyrs. It had been lengthened out, a sharp, false bow attached to it, painted, and such other improvements made as would fit it for the purposes of a club boat. "Isn't she one of the boats?" laughed Charles.
