As soon as darkness fell, these were lighted and strung above the upper deck.

The interior was brightly lighted, so that the "Red Rover," that evening, stood out more prominently than anything else on that part of the lake.

Later in the evening, after having disposed of their work, the girls took out the new rowboat and rowed slowly round and round the "Red Rover" singing.
The boys came out at that and joined them.

Together, the two boats drifted about until the hour grew late and Miss Elting called to the girls that it was time to come in.

They responded promptly.
