The Rover Boys on Land and Sea The Crusoes of Seven Islands: Large Print By Edward Stratemeyer "Well, Dick, here we are in San Francisco at last." "Yes, Tom, and what a fine large city it is." "We'll have to take care, or we'll get lost," came from a third boy, the youngest of the party. "Just listen to Sam!" cried Tom Rover. "Get lost! As if we weren't in the habit of taking care of ourselves." "Sam is joking," came from Dick Rover. "Still we might get lost here as well as in New York or any other large city." "Boston is the place to get lost in," said Tom Rover. "Got streets that curve in all directions. But let us go on. Where is the hotel?" "I'm sure I don't know," came from Sam Rover. "Cab! carriage! coupe!" bawled a cabman standing near. "Take you anywhere you want to go, gents." "How much to take the three of us to the Oakland House?" "Take you there for a dollar, trunks and all." "I'll go you," answered Dick Rover. "Come on, I'll see that you get the right trunks." "I think we are going to have some good times while we are on the Pacific coast," observed Tom Rover, while he and Sam were waiting for Dick and the cabman to return. "I shan't object to a good time," replied Sam. "That is what we came for." "Before we go back I am going to have a sail up and down the coast." "To be sure, Tom. Perhaps we can sail down to Santa Barbara. That is a sort of Asbury Park and Coney Island combined, so I have been told."
