No
boat
was
near
,
no
boat
was
in
sight
.
There
must
have
been
a
boat
attached
to
that
tow-line
at
some
time
or
other
,
that
was
certain
;
but
what
had
become
of
it
,
what
ghastly
fate
had
overtaken
it
,
and
those
who
had
been
left
in
it
,
was
buried
in
mystery
.
Whatever
the
accident
may
have
been
,
however
,
it
had
in
no
way
disturbed
the
young
lady
and
gentleman
,
who
were
towing
.
They
had
the
boat-hook
and
they
had
the
line
,
and
that
seemed
to
be
all
that
they
thought
necessary
to
their
work
.
George
was
about
to
call
out
and
wake
them
up
,
but
,
at
that
moment
,
a
bright
idea
flashed
across
him
,
and
he
did
n't
.
He
got
the
hitcher
instead
,
and
reached
over
,
and
drew
in
the
end
of
the
tow-line
;
and
they
made
a
loop
in
it
,
and
put
it
over
their
mast
,
and
then
they
tidied
up
the
sculls
,
and
went
and
sat
down
in
the
stern
,
and
lit
their
pipes
.
And
that
young
man
and
young
woman
towed
those
four
hulking
chaps
and
a
heavy
boat
up
to
Marlow
.
George
said
he
never
saw
so
much
thoughtful
sadness
concentrated
into
one
glance
before
,
as
when
,
at
the
lock
,
that
young
couple
grasped
the
idea
that
,
for
the
last
two
miles
,
they
had
been
towing
the
wrong
boat
.
George
fancied
that
,
if
it
had
not
been
for
the
restraining
influence
of
the
sweet
woman
at
his
side
,
the
young
man
might
have
given
way
to
violent
language
.
The
maiden
was
the
first
to
recover
from
her
surprise
,
and
,
when
she
did
,
she
clasped
her
hands
,
and
said
,
wildly
:
"
Oh
,
Henry
,
then
where
is
auntie
?
"
"
Did
they
ever
recover
the
old
lady
?
"
asked
Harris
.
George
replied
he
did
not
know
.
Another
example
of
the
dangerous
want
of
sympathy
between
tower
and
towed
was
witnessed
by
George
and
myself
once
up
near
Walton
.
It
was
where
the
tow-path
shelves
gently
down
into
the
water
,
and
we
were
camping
on
the
opposite
bank
,
noticing
things
in
general
.
By-and-by
a
small
boat
came
in
sight
,
towed
through
the
water
at
a
tremendous
pace
by
a
powerful
barge
horse
,
on
which
sat
a
very
small
boy
.
Scattered
about
the
boat
,
in
dreamy
and
reposeful
attitudes
,
lay
five
fellows
,
the
man
who
was
steering
having
a
particularly
restful
appearance
.
"
I
should
like
to
see
him
pull
the
wrong
line
,
"
murmured
George
,
as
they
passed
.
And
at
that
precise
moment
the
man
did
it
,
and
the
boat
rushed
up
the
bank
with
a
noise
like
the
ripping
up
of
forty
thousand
linen
sheets
.
Two
men
,
a
hamper
,
and
three
oars
immediately
left
the
boat
on
the
larboard
side
,
and
reclined
on
the
bank
,
and
one
and
a
half
moments
afterwards
,
two
other
men
disembarked
from
the
starboard
,
and
sat
down
among
boat-hooks
and
sails
and
carpet-bags
and
bottles
.
The
last
man
went
on
twenty
yards
further
,
and
then
got
out
on
his
head
.
