INTRODUCTION.

MY DEAR BOYS: "The Rover Boys on Land and Sea," is a complete story
in itself, but forms the seventh volume of the "Rover Boys Series
for Young Americans."

As I mentioned in a previous volume of this series, when I began this
set of books I had in mind to write no more than three volumes,

Jungle," immediately called for more stories of the same sort, so
year after year I have followed with "The Rover Boys out West," "The
Rover Boys on the Great Lakes," "The Rover Boys in the Mountains,"
and now the volume before you, which relates the adventures of the
three brothers, and some of their friends and enemies, on the sea
