We have overhauled every boat, big and little.

Early this morning, one crew took us for a Government boat, and treated us accordingly.

We saw in this a way of smoothing matters, so at Fundu, where the Bistritza runs into the Sereth, we got a Roumanian flag which we now fly conspicuously.

With every boat which we have overhauled since then this trick has succeeded.

We have had every deference shown to us, and not once any objection to whatever we chose to ask or do.
