I was expert with a light oar, and we agreed in thinking that this would be a very picturesque, healthful, and economical mode of travel.

It was warm weather, the beginning of May, I think, and the plan was to sleep ashore every night.

We found this plan to answer expectation.

The trip was, in every respect, delightful.

Mr.
Willers lent a ready hand at the oars and tiller by turns.
