Youse may not believe it, but after tryin' a half-hour 'n' findin' we couldn't even get them into a canoe at th' landin' 'thout upsettin' or knockin' th' bottom outen her, we had t' help them into a thirty-foot 'pointer' made t' carry a crew o' eight shantymen 'n' their supplies on the spring drives, 'n' then had t' pull our damnedest t' get them across th' lake 'fore they upset her, jumpin' 'round 't shoot at somethin' they couldn't hit!
Beyond making him as comfortable as possible, nothing further could be done for him, and in a little while the shantymen were all asleep again as soundly as though there had been no disturbance of their slumbers.
Then he broke into song: "En roulant ma boule roulant, En roulant me boule." "This, I suppose, is one of your beloved shantymen," said the lieutenant, turning to Kate, who was walking with Harry behind. "Isn't he lovely!" exclaimed Kate. "Oh," cried Maimie, in terror, "let us get into a shop!"
