The boy corporals also remained behind to act as messengers, should any be required. Mules and oxen swam the stream, but the sheep were boated across. On the last trip over our attention was attracted by a sudden shouting up-stream, followed by a rapid discharge of fire-arms. In the river, less than a quarter of a mile distant, were several objects making their way towards the western shore.
Captain remarked: "By the way, speaking of potatoes, I heard to-night that there was a crate in the Frenchmen's outfit somewhere, put in by mistake. perhaps, but when they boated their stuff up river last fall it couldn't be found must have been lost." It was some days later that, returning from a gameless hunt, Captain staggered into camp, weary from the drag of his snow-shoes.
The only answer confessed to a distaste for all exercise once pleasurable. She and her little friend boated or strolled through the meadows during the day; he fished. When he and Aminta rode out for the hour before dinner, she seemed pleased. She was amicable, conversable, all that was agreeable as a woman, and she was the chillest of wives.
She was well-dowered, well-educated, well-bred; an extremely nice and extremely pretty young woman with whom he had danced, dined and boated frequently during her first two seasons.

They walked about the streets and the wooded hills, they drove in cabs, they boated on the river, they sipped beer and coffee, afternoons, in the Schloss gardens. A good many of them wore colored caps of the corps. They were finely and fashionably dressed, their manners were quite superb, and they led an easy, careless, comfortable life.

"How would you have loaded the wheat?" demanded Elta. "Why, boated it down, of course." "And so added largely to its cost," answered the practical girl.
His majesty's "plunder" had to be got out of the hold, and boated ashore; the water casks had to be emptied for it was sea-water they contained and then refilled from the river; and these things done the barque would then take on board her five hundred "bultos."
