Oh
,
yes
;
you
're
the
party
that
wrote
for
a
double
sculling
skiff
.
It
's
all
right
.
Jim
,
fetch
round
The
Pride
of
the
Thames
.
"
The
boy
went
,
and
re-appeared
five
minutes
afterwards
,
struggling
with
an
antediluvian
chunk
of
wood
,
that
looked
as
though
it
had
been
recently
dug
out
of
somewhere
,
and
dug
out
carelessly
,
so
as
to
have
been
unnecessarily
damaged
in
the
process
.
My
own
idea
,
on
first
catching
sight
of
the
object
,
was
that
it
was
a
Roman
relic
of
some
sort
,
--
relic
of
what
I
do
not
know
,
possibly
of
a
coffin
.
The
neighbourhood
of
the
upper
Thames
is
rich
in
Roman
relics
,
and
my
surmise
seemed
to
me
a
very
probable
one
;
but
our
serious
young
man
,
who
is
a
bit
of
a
geologist
,
pooh-poohed
my
Roman
relic
theory
,
and
said
it
was
clear
to
the
meanest
intellect
(
in
which
category
he
seemed
to
be
grieved
that
he
could
not
conscientiously
include
mine
)
that
the
thing
the
boy
had
found
was
the
fossil
of
a
whale
;
and
he
pointed
out
to
us
various
evidences
proving
that
it
must
have
belonged
to
the
preglacial
period
.
To
settle
the
dispute
,
we
appealed
to
the
boy
.
We
told
him
not
to
be
afraid
,
but
to
speak
the
plain
truth
:
Was
it
the
fossil
of
a
preAdamite
whale
,
or
was
it
an
early
Roman
coffin
?
The
boy
said
it
was
The
Pride
of
the
Thames
.
We
thought
this
a
very
humorous
answer
on
the
part
of
the
boy
at
first
,
and
somebody
gave
him
twopence
as
a
reward
for
his
ready
wit
;
but
when
he
persisted
in
keeping
up
the
joke
,
as
we
thought
,
too
long
,
we
got
vexed
with
him
.
"
Come
,
come
,
my
lad
!
"
said
our
captain
sharply
,
"
do
n't
let
us
have
any
nonsense
.
You
take
your
mother
's
washing-tub
home
again
,
and
bring
us
a
boat
.
"
The
boat-builder
himself
came
up
then
,
and
assured
us
,
on
his
word
,
as
a
practical
man
,
that
the
thing
really
was
a
boat
--
was
,
in
fact
,
the
boat
,
the
"
double
sculling
skiff
"
selected
to
take
us
on
our
trip
down
the
river
.
We
grumbled
a
good
deal
.
We
thought
he
might
,
at
least
,
have
had
it
whitewashed
or
tarred
--
had
something
done
to
it
to
distinguish
it
from
a
bit
of
a
wreck
;
but
he
could
not
see
any
fault
in
it
.
