The Rover Boys on Treasure Isle

CHAPTER XIII
5/12

"That Hellig loves his liquor, and Snall likes a glass, too." "Was Hellig the driver of this first car ?" "Yes, and Snall ran the second." Just then Tom came up, having placed Nellie in the second car.
"What's the trouble, Dick ?" he questioned.
"I am afraid both our men have gone off to drink.

This man says they both love their liquor." "They do, and both of 'em have been locked up for reckless driving but don't say I told you," said the gardener.
"Humph! This is serious," murmured Tom.

"I don't like to trust a chauffeur who drinks." "Come with me," said his brother, in a low tone.

"Just wait for us," he shouted to the others, who were now in the two cars.
He walked behind the ice cream pavillion, Tom at his side, and then the pair reached a side door, connecting with the hotel barroom.

They looked in and at a small table saw the two chauffeurs drinking liquor from a bottle set before them.
