My Dear Lads:
This story is complete in itself, but forms volume four in a lineknown by the general title of "Boy Hunters Series," taking inadventures with rod, rifle, shotgun and camera, in the field,the forest, and on river and lake, both in winter and summer.
My main object in writing this series of books is to acquaintlads with life in the open air, and cause them to become interestedin nature. In the first volume, called "Four Boy Hunters," Itold how the youths organized their little club and went forthfor a summer vacation; in the second book, "Guns and Snowshoes,"I gave the particulars of a midwinter outing, with its heavy fallsof snow, its blizzard, and its most remarkable Christmas in thewilds.
With the coming of another summer the boys determined to go forthonce more, and what they did then has been told in the third book,entitled "Young Hunters of the Lake." They had a glorious time,in spite of some enemies who tried to do them harm, and they settledthe matter of certain "ghost" to their entire satisfaction.
The settling of the ghost question took them home before the summervacation was half over, and then the boys began to wonder whatthey had best do next. But that question was soon answered byan announcement made by the father of one of the lads; and onceagain they went forth, this time, however, to the distant mountains.Here they hunted and fished to their hearts' content, and likewisetook a large number of photographs, some of the pictures causingthem a good deal of trouble and peril to obtain.
Trusting that all boys who love to hunt and to fish and to takepictures with a camera will find this volume to their liking,I remain, Your sincere friend, Captain Ralph Bonehill.

"Where are you going, Whopper?"
"For a row on the river. I've been aching for a row for about a year."
"That suits me," answered Sheppard Reed, as he hopped down from thefence upon which he had been sitting. "What about the others?"
"Snap said he would meet me at the dock," continued Frank Dawson,otherwise known as Whopper. "I don't know where Giant is."
