You have rowed down beside them all in a shell, or have had glimpses of them from the train, or sat under the awnings of the launch or regular packet and watched the procession go by.

Bunny and Sue, as soon as they had finished their breakfast, went down to the edge of the lake to play. They wanted to go for a row, and Mrs. Brown had said they could if Tom was along, so there was no trouble this time. Out on the water, where the sun was shining on the waves, Tom rowed the children.

Farther down it is deeper in the middle." "Where is the current down there?" asked Uncle Robert. "In the middle of the river," said Frank. "When we go in swimming we can wade out here a long ways before we go over our heads," said Donald. "I wish I could swim," said Susie. "You should learn," said Uncle Robert. "The boys could easily teach you." They rowed steadily up the river.

It was upon this very night that Falding the Englishman sat with other men in a London tavern, talking joyously. "There's been the luck of Heaven," he said, "in the whole exploit.

"How large a box?"

He started off after that on a hard run for Bath Bay, where he jumped into a boat, and, pulling out into the greater bay, rowed with all his strength over to the village; but his inquiries there could gain no information, so he hired a small schooner-rigged boat and its owner to go out with him and hunt us up, or find some trace of our fate.

Jack showed more Highland excitement than Russian stolidity, as he watched the oncoming of a small boat, beautifully riding the waves, and masterfully rowed by sailors who understood the art.

When this amusement ceased to divert him, he announced his intention of going on the stage, of not going home till morning, and of being rowed down the river in the meantime. "But where will you get a boat at this time of night?" the Tenor objected. "You're not a man of much imagination," said the Boy, "or you wouldn't have asked such a question.
