I
shall
never
forget
the
picture
of
those
two
men
walking
up
and
down
the
bank
with
a
tow-line
,
looking
for
their
boat
.
One
sees
a
good
many
funny
incidents
up
the
river
in
connection
with
towing
.
One
of
the
most
common
is
the
sight
of
a
couple
of
towers
,
walking
briskly
along
,
deep
in
an
animated
discussion
,
while
the
man
in
the
boat
,
a
hundred
yards
behind
them
,
is
vainly
shrieking
to
them
to
stop
,
and
making
frantic
signs
of
distress
with
a
scull
.
Something
has
gone
wrong
;
the
rudder
has
come
off
,
or
the
boat-hook
has
slipped
overboard
,
or
his
hat
has
dropped
into
the
water
and
is
floating
rapidly
down
stream
.
He
calls
to
them
to
stop
,
quite
gently
and
politely
at
first
.
"
Hi
!
stop
a
minute
,
will
you
?
"
he
shouts
cheerily
.
"
I
've
dropped
my
hat
over-board
.
"
Then
:
"
Hi
!
Tom
--
Dick
!
ca
n't
you
hear
?
"
not
quite
so
affably
this
time
.
Then
:
"
Hi
!
Confound
you
,
you
dunder-headed
idiots
!
Hi
!
stop
!
Oh
you
--
!
"
After
that
he
springs
up
,
and
dances
about
,
and
roars
himself
red
in
the
face
,
and
curses
everything
he
knows
.
And
the
small
boys
on
the
bank
stop
and
jeer
at
him
,
and
pitch
stones
at
him
as
he
is
pulled
along
past
them
,
at
the
rate
of
four
miles
an
hour
,
and
ca
n't
get
out
.
Much
of
this
sort
of
trouble
would
be
saved
if
those
who
are
towing
would
keep
remembering
that
they
are
towing
,
and
give
a
pretty
frequent
look
round
to
see
how
their
man
is
getting
on
.
It
is
best
to
let
one
person
tow
.
When
two
are
doing
it
,
they
get
chattering
,
and
forget
,
and
the
boat
itself
,
offering
,
as
it
does
,
but
little
resistance
,
is
of
no
real
service
in
reminding
them
of
the
fact
.
As
an
example
of
how
utterly
oblivious
a
pair
of
towers
can
be
to
their
work
,
George
told
us
,
later
on
in
the
evening
,
when
we
were
discussing
the
subject
after
supper
,
of
a
very
curious
instance
.
He
and
three
other
men
,
so
he
said
,
were
sculling
a
very
heavily
laden
boat
up
from
Maidenhead
one
evening
,
and
a
little
above
Cookham
lock
they
noticed
a
fellow
and
a
girl
,
walking
along
the
towpath
,
both
deep
in
an
apparently
interesting
and
absorbing
conversation
.
They
were
carrying
a
boat-hook
between
them
,
and
,
attached
to
the
boat-hook
was
a
tow-line
,
which
trailed
behind
them
,
its
end
in
the
water
.
