He'll want you to enter in the races next Fourth of July. We've had tub races and the like of that, but a carryall sailin' match 'll be somethin' new. I'll back you against the town, though. You can count on me." "Now, look here, Eri Hedge, if you tell a livin' soul 'bout it, I'll " "All right, shipmate, all right; but it's too good to keep.
"If reports be true, Monsieur Mackenzie is not the man to wait until the ice is all off the lakes and nothin' but plain sailin' lies before him." "That's true, lad," replied Reuben, resuming his paddle.
