Chapter V
"That's how we'll did done it!" said Moise. "S'pose water will be bad, go where he'll ain't be so bad. No use for get tip over. S'pose he'll be too bad, we'll take a rope an' let those boat down little bit to a time." "Well," said John, "we don't want to show the white feather, but I suppose it's just as well that you should take the boats through a bad place, and not trust to us--we might get rattled in the wrong place out there."
