Excerpt from The River Motor Boat Boys on the Mississippi: Or on the Trail to the Gulf A white bulldog of ferocious aspect lay sound asleep under a small table. Lying across the dog's neck, with his soft muzzle hidden between capable paws, was a quarter-grown grizzly bear. Now and then Captain Joe, as the dog was named, stirred uneasily in his sleep, as if in remonstrance at the liberties which Teddy, the cub, was taking with his person. The bulldog and the cub snored in unison! The table under which the animals slept stood in the middle of the small cabin of the motor boat Rambler, and the Rambler was pulling at her anchor chain in the muddy water of the Mississippi river - pulling and jerking for all the world like a fat pig with a ring in his nose trying to get rid of the line which held him in captivity.

All these trips had been crowded with adventure, but both the boys and the boat had proved equal to every emergency. At the conclusion of the Mississippi journey, the boys of the six-river motor-boat Club had decided to explore the St. Lawrence river from the Gulf to Lake Ontario.
