Will had come to Rainbow Lake to tell his sister this, to relieve her mind. When he mentioned coming he had told Frank and Allen, asking them to go with him. All the boys expected to do was to spend the evening on board the Gem with the girls, but when they arrived, and learned of the pageant, and Will met his club friend, the plans were changed.
"Too bad Percy Falconer didn't come," remarked Grace, as she slipped into her dressing gown.
"Don't spoil everything," begged Betty. "You know I detest him!"
Gradually the girls got breakfast, talking of the events of the night before.
"I wonder when we will get our prize?" said Betty. "I am wild to see it. I hope it's that oddly shaped cup we so admired when we looked at the prizes."
It proved to be that one, the trophy being sent over to the dock where the Gem was tied, by a special messenger. It was given the place of honor in the cabin.
Will and his two chums went home rather late that day.
"Is father much worried about the missing papers?' asked Grace, as she parted from her brother.
