Summary "The Rover Boys on the Ocean; Or, A Chase for a Fortune" by Edward Stratemeyer is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the adventures of three brothers—Dick, Tom, and Sam Rover—as they embark on a sailing trip along the Hudson River, which leads to unexpected encounters and challenges. The narrative promises a blend of excitement and youthful camaraderie as the boys confront both friends and foes from their past. At the start of the story, the Rover brothers are enjoying their sailing excursion on the yacht "Spray", discussing their previous military school experiences and the friends and enemies they had made, particularly mentioning a former antagonist named Dan Baxter. The opening sets the stage for the brothers' adventures, introducing conflict when another yacht, the "Falcon", suddenly collides with them, leading to damage that threatens their outing. Shortly after, they discover that one of their old foes, Mumps, who was aboard the "Falcon", may be trailing them with ulterior motives. As the brothers navigate this unexpected challenge, the reader is drawn into a world of youthful adventure and the trials of growing up, promising a narrative filled with tension and intrigue.
