Well, the fifth of November was fast approaching, on which I was to commence the enthusiastic epoch of my schoolboy existence. I was now twelve years of age. Almost insensible to bodily pain by frequent magisterial and social thrashings, tall, strong of my age, reckless, and fearless.

"This is the fifth time you have been in to-day; besides, I have just tidied up this room. Go away with you, and drip in the tent." "He pushed me off, and I pulled him in!" said Phil, in explanation. "Very sorry, shall not occur again." "I wanted to see how deep the water was," said Gerald. "Very important, you know, to take soundings in a storm."
