The wharves loose masses of rock at the boat-landing are singularly luxuriant in the article of fish. Prodigious piles of fish lie about in every direction. The shambling old store-houses are crammed with fish, and the heads of fish and the back-bones of fish lie bleaching on the rocks.
As the boat-landing was nearly three-quarters of a mile distant, and such a calamity recurring would be not only sorrowful in itself but perilous in the extreme for us all, I steeped my wits, and with such crude materials as were at hand, I manufactured not only a hand-barrow, but a wheel-barrow, for the pressing emergencies of the time.
As I ran, bareheaded and coatless, across the wide wet space between our home and the storehouse a soldier came dashing by on horseback. I dodged behind him only to fall sprawling in a slippery pool under the very feet of another horseman, riding swiftly toward the boat-landing. Neither man paid any attention to me as I slowly picked myself up and started toward the store.
Rulledge exploded in uncontrollable enthusiasm. "She turned round as soon as she had got through with her hymn of praise it made Braybridge feel awfully flat and ran back through the bushes to the boat-landing, and that was the last he saw of her till he met her in town this fall." "And when and when did he offer himself?" Rulledge entreated breathlessly. "How "

"Hello, Todd!" he burst out, his face aglow with his drive from the boat-landing "glad to see you!
The fault with Dab Kinzer's old suit, after all, had lain mainly in its size rather than its materials, for Mrs. Kinzer was too good a manager to be really stingy. Dick succeeded in reaching the boat-landing without falling in with any one who seemed disposed to laugh at him; but there, right on the wharf, was a white boy of about his own age, and he felt a good deal like backing out.
"There are a good many kinds and sorts of Dutch beds, I suppose," observed Mrs. Fisher, turning away, "just as there are a good many American ones; but I hope there aren't many of this particular kind." "Jasper," exclaimed Polly, as they all filed decorously out of the "Model Farm," "how I do wish you and I could race down to the boat-landing!"
She implied that he was morally as well as physically gigantic, and it was as much as he could do to keep from taking her in his arms on the spot." "It would have been edifying to the groom that had driven her to the station," Minver cynically suggested. "Groom nothing!" Halson returned with spirit. "She paddled herself across the lake, and walked from the boat-landing to the station." "Jove!"
Messieurs, my little axe make ze first log in ze city, in Premiereville, where we drink now this wine." The doctor's preparations for the trip down the river were quickly made. Half the population of the village, led by Lucrèce, flocked to the boat-landing to see him safely off.
There was an aspiring little place which fancied itself a rival, a little boat-landing, without natural advantages, called Cincinnati, where they killed hogs; but it was quite absurd to think of her competing with the great metropolis at the head of the canal.
