James the footman, and Michael the coachman, were to go to carry baskets and help manage the boat; James being something of a sailor.

Now Logan and Sam were pressed into the service; the latter to take James's business, as porter, and leave the latter free to be a chair-bearer.
"I don't see how the boat is to carry all the people," Nora remarked.
"O yes," said Daisy, "it is a big boat; it will hold everybody, I guess; and it goes with a sail, Nora.

Won't that be nice?
Papa knows how to manage it." "It will want a very large boat to take us all," Nora persisted.

"I went out with Marmaduke in a sail-boat once--_he_ knows how to manage a sail-boat too;--and I am sure it wouldn't have held half as many people as we have got here.

No, nor a quarter as many." "O yes, but our boat is bigger, I suppose," said Daisy.
