On
the
bank
of
the
Silverlode
,
at
some
distance
up
from
the
meeting
of
the
streams
,
there
was
a
hythe
of
white
stones
and
white
wood
.
By
it
were
moored
many
boats
and
barges
.
Some
were
brightly
painted
,
and
shone
with
silver
and
gold
and
green
,
but
most
were
either
white
or
grey
.
Three
small
grey
boats
had
been
made
ready
for
the
travellers
,
and
in
these
the
Elves
stowed
their
goods
.
And
they
added
also
coils
of
rope
,
three
to
each
boat
.
Slender
they
looked
,
but
strong
,
silken
to
the
touch
,
grey
of
hue
like
the
elven-cloaks
.
"
What
are
these
?
"
asked
Sam
,
handling
one
that
lay
upon
the
greensward
.
"
Ropes
indeed
!
"
answered
an
Elf
from
the
boats
.
"
Never
travel
far
without
a
rope
!
And
one
that
is
long
and
strong
and
light
.
Such
are
these
.
They
may
be
a
help
in
many
needs
.

"
You
do
n't
need
to
tell
me
that
!
"
said
Sam
.
"
I
came
without
any
and
I
've
been
worried
ever
since
.
But
I
was
wondering
what
these
were
made
of
,
knowing
a
bit
about
rope-making
:
it
's
in
the
family
as
you
might
say
.
"
"
They
are
made
ofhithlain
,
"
said
the
Elf
,
"
but
there
is
no
time
now
to
instruct
you
in
the
art
of
their
making
.
Had
we
known
that
this
craft
delighted
you
,
we
could
have
taught
you
much
.
But
now
alas
!
unless
you
should
at
some
time
return
hither
,
you
must
be
content
with
our
gift
.
May
it
serve
you
well
!
"
"
Come
!
"
said
Haldir
.
"
All
is
now
ready
for
you
.
Enter
the
boats
!
But
take
care
at
first
!
"
"
Heed
the
words
!
"
said
the
other
Elves
.

These
boats
are
light-built
,
and
they
are
crafty
and
unlike
the
boats
of
other
folk
.
They
will
not
sink
,
lade
them
as
you
will
;
but
they
are
wayward
if
mishandled
.
It
would
be
wise
if
you
accustomed
yourselves
to
stepping
in
and
out
,
here
where
there
is
a
landing-place
,
before
you
set
off
downstream
.
"
The
Company
was
arranged
in
this
way
:
Aragorn
,
Frodo
,
and
Sam
were
in
one
boat
;
Boromir
,
Merry
,
and
Pippin
in
another
;
and
in
the
third
were
Legolas
and
Gimli
,
who
had
now
become
fast
friends
.
In
this
last
boat
most
of
the
goods
and
packs
were
stowed
.
The
boats
were
moved
and
steered
with
short-handled
paddles
that
had
broad
leaf-shaped
blades
.
When
all
was
ready
Aragorn
led
them
on
a
trial
up
the
Silverlode
.
The
current
was
swift
and
they
went
forward
slowly
.
Sam
sat
in
the
bows
,
clutching
the
sides
,
and
looking
back
wistfully
to
the
shore
.
The
sunlight
glittering
on
the
water
dazzled
his
eyes
.
As
they
passed
beyond
the
green
field
of
the
Tongue
,
the
trees
drew
down
to
the
river
's
brink
.
Here
and
there
golden
leaves
tossed
and
floated
on
the
rippling
stream
.
The
air
was
very
bright
and
still
,
and
there
was
a
silence
,
except
for
the
high
distant
song
of
larks
.
They
turned
a
sharp
bend
in
the
river
,
and
there
,
sailing
proudly
down
the
stream
toward
them
,
they
saw
a
swan
of
great
size
.
The
water
rippled
on
either
side
of
the
white
breast
beneath
its
curving
neck
.
Its
beak
shone
like
burnished
gold
,
and
its
eyes
glinted
like
jet
set
in
yellow
stones
;
its
huge
white
wings
were
half
lifted
.
