I was very cold when I got back into the boat, and, in my hurry to get my shirt on, I accidentally jerked it into the water. It made me awfully wild, especially as George burst out laughing. I could not see anything to laugh at, and I told George so, and he only laughed the more. I never saw a man laugh so much.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
