Well
,
"
he
returned
,
drawing
a
long
breath
,
"
I
hope
so
.
"
"
And
think
so
?
"
He
dipped
his
hand
in
the
water
over
the
boat
s
gunwale
,
and
said
,
smiling
with
that
softened
air
upon
him
which
was
not
new
to
me
:

Ay
,
I
s
pose
I
think
so
,
dear
boy
.
We
d
be
puzzled
to
be
more
quiet
and
easy
-
going
than
we
are
at
present
.
But
it
s
a
flowing
so
soft
and
pleasant
through
the
water
,
p
raps
,
as
makes
me
think
it
I
was
a
thinking
through
my
smoke
just
then
,
that
we
can
no
more
see
to
the
bottom
of
the
next
few
hours
than
we
can
see
to
the
bottom
of
this
river
what
I
catches
hold
of
.
Nor
yet
we
can
t
no
more
hold
their
tide
than
I
can
hold
this
.
And
it
s
run
through
my
fingers
and
gone
,
you
see
!
"
holding
up
his
dripping
hand
.
"
But
for
your
face
I
should
think
you
were
a
little
despondent
,
"
said
I
.
"
Not
a
bit
on
it
,
dear
boy
!
It
comes
of
flowing
on
so
quiet
,
and
of
that
there
rippling
at
the
boat
s
head
making
a
sort
of
a
Sunday
tune
.
Maybe
I
m
a
growing
a
trifle
old
besides
.

He
put
his
pipe
back
in
his
mouth
with
an
undisturbed
expression
of
face
,
and
sat
as
composed
and
contented
as
if
we
were
already
out
of
England
.
Yet
he
was
as
submissive
to
a
word
of
advice
as
if
he
had
been
in
constant
terror
;
for
,
when
we
ran
ashore
to
get
some
bottles
of
beer
into
the
boat
,
and
he
was
stepping
out
,
I
hinted
that
I
thought
he
would
be
safest
where
he
was
,
and
he
said
.
"
Do
you
,
dear
boy
?
"
and
quietly
sat
down
again
.
The
air
felt
cold
upon
the
river
,
but
it
was
a
bright
day
,
and
the
sunshine
was
very
cheering
.
The
tide
ran
strong
,
I
took
care
to
lose
none
of
it
,
and
our
steady
stroke
carried
us
on
thoroughly
well
.
By
imperceptible
degrees
,
as
the
tide
ran
out
,
we
lost
more
and
more
of
the
nearer
woods
and
hills
,
and
dropped
lower
and
lower
between
the
muddy
banks
,
but
the
tide
was
yet
with
us
when
we
were
off
Gravesend
.
As
our
charge
was
wrapped
in
his
cloak
,
I
purposely
passed
within
a
boat
or
two
s
length
of
the
floating
Custom
House
,
and
so
out
to
catch
the
stream
,
alongside
of
two
emigrant
ships
,
and
under
the
bows
of
a
large
transport
with
troops
on
the
forecastle
looking
down
at
us
.
And
soon
the
tide
began
to
slacken
,
and
the
craft
lying
at
anchor
to
swing
,
and
presently
they
had
all
swung
round
,
and
the
ships
that
were
taking
advantage
of
the
new
tide
to
get
up
to
the
Pool
began
to
crowd
upon
us
in
a
fleet
,
and
we
kept
under
the
shore
,
as
much
out
of
the
strength
of
the
tide
now
as
we
could
,
standing
carefully
off
from
low
shallows
and
mudbanks
.
Our
oarsmen
were
so
fresh
,
by
dint
of
having
occasionally
let
her
drive
with
the
tide
for
a
minute
or
two
,
that
a
quarter
of
an
hour
s
rest
proved
full
as
much
as
they
wanted
.
We
got
ashore
among
some
slippery
stones
while
we
ate
and
drank
what
we
had
with
us
,
and
looked
about
.
It
was
like
my
own
marsh
country
,
flat
and
monotonous
,
and
with
a
dim
horizon
;
while
the
winding
river
turned
and
turned
,
and
the
great
floating
buoys
upon
it
turned
and
turned
,
and
everything
else
seemed
stranded
and
still
.
For
now
the
last
of
the
fleet
of
ships
was
round
the
last
low
point
we
had
headed
;
and
the
last
green
barge
,
straw
-
laden
,
with
a
brown
sail
,
had
followed
;
and
some
ballast
-
lighters
,
shaped
like
a
child
s
first
rude
imitation
of
a
boat
,
lay
low
in
the
mud
;
and
a
little
squat
shoal
-
lighthouse
on
open
piles
stood
crippled
in
the
mud
on
stilts
and
crutches
;
and
slimy
stakes
stuck
out
of
the
mud
,
and
slimy
stones
stuck
out
of
the
mud
,
and
red
landmarks
and
tidemarks
stuck
out
of
the
mud
,
and
an
old
landing
-
stage
and
an
old
roofless
building
slipped
into
the
mud
,
and
all
about
us
was
stagnation
and
mud
.
