It happened to be a day when the blue of the sea was that of the Mediterranean, and the sky and sea melted into each other, so that a distant sail-boat seemed to be climbing into the heavens. The waves rolled in blue on the white sand beach, and broke in silver. Three young girls on horseback galloping in a race along the hard beach at the moment gave the needed animation to a very pretty picture.
I know what I'm about." "Of course you do, sir." "Got a boat here?" suddenly demanded the eccentric. "Yes, sir; I have our sail-boat." "Take me down to Seal Harbor in her," added the captain, rising from his seat. "I don't think I can go, sir." "Don't you? What's the reason you can't?" asked the captain, with a sneer on his lips. "I have to meet the yacht club here."
This fixes the date of the entry in the early summer of 1817, for kingbirds are not belligerent except during the nesting season. Somewhat later in the year he writes: "Went yesterday in a sail-boat on the Great Pond with Mr. Peter White, of Windham.

I saw the scene again; the misty flats, the spruce little sail-boat and its sweet young mistress, fresh as a dewy flower, but blanched and demoralized by a horrid fear, appealing to my honour so to act that we three should never meet again, promising to be silent, but as much in her own interest as ours, and under that implied condition which I had only equivocally refused.
And here those three young people were drowned, a few summers ago, by the upsetting of a sail-boat in a sudden flaw of wind. There is not one of these smiling ponds which has not devoured more youths and maidens than any of those monsters the ancients used to tell such lies about.
He perceived that his sister was changing her tactics. "You are very considerate and tender of Wanda," he said, "but not so much as I expect to be." The conversation, which was growing more and more unsatisfactory, was abruptly terminated by the entrance of one of the other members of the family. As a natural result of this interview Wanda was invited to go with them in the sail-boat next day.
As he strode along in the sunshine his oath weighed upon him no more than if he had promised not to go out in his sail-boat that day. At last, after surmounting a rather steep hill, he threw himself on the grass under the shade of a tree. "It's going to be awfully slow and stupid here," he muttered, "and it will be a month or two before we can return.
Then, catching the light that flamed into the miner's eyes, Petellin hastened to observe: "But you can't get there. It's across the Straits Shelikof Straits." "What of that! We can hire a sail-boat, and " "I ain't got any sail-boat. I lost my sloop last year hunting sea-otter." "We can hire a small boat of some sort, can't we, and get the natives to put us across?
