They had now, as they could make their boat seaworthy, great hopes of performing their intended voyage. They had a good store of provisions, with a compass, chart, quadrant, and almanac, so that they could direct their course in any direction which was considered advisable.

This day was the longest one to be found in the almanac; it was longer than all the line of railroad from Maine to Indiana and back again. Dotty shut her lips together, and suffered in silence.

The year is with them too fast by so much as it removes itself from the old almanac. The reason is that they are the old almanac.
