"It won't be long now before we'll be on this old stamping ground of
ours," remarked Joe, as he looked at the surf breaking on the shore.
"It will be good to be here again."
"Right you are," replied Bob. "And we'll bring our radio sets along.
This summer will be more interesting than any we've known before."
How fully that prophecy was carried out, and how exciting were the
adventures that awaited the boys will be told in the second book of
this series, to be entitled: "The Radio Boys at Ocean Point; Or,
The Message That Saved the Ship."
Herb and Jimmy were as delighted as their chums when they heard of
the way that Cassey had been trapped and forced to make restitution.
But many of the details had to be postponed until another time, for
just now their thoughts were full of the Ferberton prize which was
to be awarded that night, and for which they were busy in making
their final preparations.
The town hall that night was crowded, and many had to be content
with standing room. Upon the platform were numerous wireless
telephone sets that had been received for the competition.
Mr. Ferberton himself presided at the gathering. He made a most
interesting address, in which he dealt with the wonders of wireless
and gave a review of its latest developments. His own set, which was
one of the largest and most powerful the radio boys had ever seen,
had been installed on the platform with a large horn attached, and
for an hour and a half, while waiting for the prizes to be awarded,
the auditors were regaled with a delightful concert.
