At the start of the tale, the Rover boys are enjoying a leisurely trip on a houseboat, engaging in light-hearted banter and excitement as they navigate the river. Their adventures take a turn when they encounter a lumber raft that comes perilously close to colliding with their vessel, sparking concerns of safety. Additionally, their old adversary, Dan Baxter, makes an appearance with dubious company, hinting at potential trouble ahead. As they settle into their journey, the boys' playful dialogue reflects their camaraderie and the sense of adventure that promises more challenges as they delve deeper into the unfolding mystery. - Summary by Project Gutenberg
