Then
that
launch
would
give
one
final
shriek
of
a
whistle
that
would
nearly
burst
the
boiler
,
and
she
would
reverse
her
engines
,
and
blow
off
steam
,
and
swing
round
and
get
aground
;
everyone
on
board
of
it
would
rush
to
the
bow
and
yell
at
us
,
and
the
people
on
the
bank
would
stand
and
shout
to
us
,
and
all
the
other
passing
boats
would
stop
and
join
in
,
till
the
whole
river
for
miles
up
and
down
was
in
a
state
of
frantic
commotion
.
And
then
Harris
would
break
off
in
the
most
interesting
part
of
his
narrative
,
and
look
up
with
mild
surprise
,
and
say
to
George
:
"
Why
,
George
,
bless
me
,
if
here
is
n't
a
steam
launch
!
"
And
George
would
answer
:
"
Well
,
do
you
know
,
I
thought
I
heard
something
!
"
Upon
which
we
would
get
nervous
and
confused
,
and
not
know
how
to
get
the
boat
out
of
the
way
,
and
the
people
in
the
launch
would
crowd
round
and
instruct
us
:
"
Pull
your
right
--
you
,
you
idiot
!
back
with
your
left
.
No
,
not
you
--
the
other
one
--
leave
the
lines
alone
,
ca
n't
you
--
now
,
both
together
,
not
that
way
.
Oh
,
you
--
!
"
Then
they
would
lower
a
boat
and
come
to
our
assistance
;
and
,
after
quarter
of
an
hour
's
effort
,
would
get
us
clean
out
of
their
way
,
so
that
they
could
go
on
;
and
we
would
thank
them
so
much
,
and
ask
them
to
give
us
a
tow
.
But
they
never
would
.
Another
good
way
we
discovered
of
irritating
the
aristocratic
type
of
steam
launch
,
was
to
mistake
them
for
a
beanfeast
,
and
ask
them
if
they
were
Messrs.
Cubit
's
lot
or
the
Bermondsey
Good
Templars
,
and
could
they
lend
us
a
saucepan
.
Old
ladies
,
not
accustomed
to
the
river
,
are
always
intensely
nervous
of
steam
launches
.
I
remember
going
up
once
from
Staines
to
Windsor
--
a
stretch
of
water
peculiarly
rich
in
these
mechanical
monstrosities
--
with
a
party
containing
three
ladies
of
this
description
.
It
was
very
exciting
.
At
the
first
glimpse
of
every
steam
launch
that
came
in
view
,
they
insisted
on
landing
and
sitting
down
on
the
bank
until
it
was
out
of
sight
again
.
They
said
they
were
very
sorry
,
but
that
they
owed
it
to
their
families
not
to
be
fool-hardy
.
We
found
ourselves
short
of
water
at
Hambledon
Lock
;
so
we
took
our
jar
and
went
up
to
the
lock-keeper
's
house
to
beg
for
some
.
