A ferry boat shuttles tourists to an island every hour starting at 10 AM until its last trip, which starts at 3 PM. One day the boat captain notes that on the 10 AM trip there were $ 100$ tourists on the ferry boat, and that on each successive trip, the number of tourists was $ 1$ fewer than on the previous trip. How many tourists did the ferry take to the island that day?
