This is done by placing a lighted torch, or a lamp upon a standard, placed upright in the bow of the boat, and so high that a man seated or lying upon the bottom of the craft, will have his head below it.

After dinner, too, when the women had succeeded the weed, Peter in someway found it very easy to settle himself near Miss Pierce.
