Then one of them swam across and they made their way to our place, and we fixed them up with dry things and drove them home. I don't think they've gone in for canoeing since!" finished Jim reflectively. "Well, I guess it would discourage them a bit," Wally agreed. "Getting shipwrecked's no fun." "Ever tried it?" "Once in Albert Park Lagoon," Wally admitted bashfully.
These men had a real love for canoeing, and from dawn to sunset, with only a short interval, and sometimes no midday rest, they would ply the oars, causing the canoe or barge to shoot through the water like a thing of life, but often contending against head winds and gaining little progress in a day's rowing."
She sat down in an inconspicuous corner where she could rest her head upon her drawn up knees, if she wished, without the professor's seeing her, and hoped that the speech would be a short one, and that there would still be time to go canoeing on the river after he had finished. The professor, however, seemed to have no intention of making a speech.
Had they possessed, however, more of that same skill and familiarity with canoeing which comes only with practice, they would have perceived more clearly the speed with which they were travelling, and how great a distance already lay between them and the point where they had embarked. "Queer we don't come to that inlet," remarked Harvey, at length.
"Why, Jacques, my friend, it's a matter of wonder to me that you, a free man, without relations or friends to curb you, or attract you to other parts of the world, should go boating and canoeing all over the country at the beck of the fur-traders, when you might come and pitch your tent here for ever!"

The splendid canoeing and the races we run, and I may be big enough next summer to go to Lachine. I would like to rush through the rapids that Antoine the sailor tells about, where you feel as if you were going down to the centre of the world." "No woman would dare. It would not be safe," he objected. "Men are not always lost, only a few clumsy ones. And I can swim with the best of them."
Mrs Milburn continued to dilate upon lawn tennis, dealt lightly with badminton, and brought the conversation round with a graceful sweep to canoeing. Dora's attitude before she had done became slightly permissive, but Mrs Milburn held on till she had accomplished her conception of conduct for the occasion; then she remembered a meeting in the schoolhouse.
What mines can you find, more interesting than the great copper-mines of Calumet and Hecla and Quincy? the only place in the United States, indeed, where you can see the curious man-engine, with its arrangement of changing-platforms for carrying the miners up and down. Well, you meant to go "canoeing." Some very choice canoeing and shooting of rapids you can have during the hours at the Sault Ste.
Short, meaty, to-the-point articles tell the "how" of living and playing in the open whether hunting, fishing, canoeing, camping, ice boating, skiing, swimming, shooting at the traps, or any other outdoor sport. The adventure stories and fiction are the kind that anyone with red blood likes to read.
How about you?" and Tom looked at his friend, Morse Denton, anxious to hear about his good times. "Oh, I went with my folks to the shore. Had a pretty good summer motorboating, canoeing with the girls, and all that. But I got a bit tired of it.
