What they were, will be told in another volume, to be entitled, "The Rover Boys in New York; Or, Saving Their Father's Honor." All of the girls had been too upset by what had happened to go on with their studies, and it was thought best to let them go home for awhile and take it easy.

The boys, too, went home, to let their folks know all the details of the happening.
"You did very well, boys!" cried their father, when he greeted them.
"Very well indeed! I am proud of you!" "And the best of it is, all of those rascals are now where they can bother us no longer," added Randolph Rover.
Then the boys wanted to know about their parent's health and his business prospects.
"I am feeling quite some better," said Mr.Rover.

"And I think that before a great while all those business complications will be straightened out." "That's fine, dad!" cried Tom, and threw his cap in the air.

"Hurrah! We come out ahead every time, don't we ?" And then he did a jig, he felt so happy.
"Let's go for a sail in the _Dartaway_!" came from Sam.

"We'll call on Peter Marley and the rest of those folks and let them know how we rounded up Crabtree, Sobber & Company." "That's the talk!" exclaimed Dick.
