The
place
to
buy
canoes
is
off
of
rafts
laying
up
at
shore
.
But
we
did
n't
see
no
rafts
laying
up
;
so
we
went
along
during
three
hours
and
more
.
Well
,
the
night
got
gray
and
ruther
thick
,
which
is
the
next
meanest
thing
to
fog
.
You
ca
n't
tell
the
shape
of
the
river
,
and
you
ca
n't
see
no
distance
.
It
got
to
be
very
late
and
still
,
and
then
along
comes
a
steamboat
up
the
river
.
We
lit
the
lantern
,
and
judged
she
would
see
it
.
Up-stream
boats
did
n't
generly
come
close
to
us
;
they
go
out
and
follow
the
bars
and
hunt
for
easy
water
under
the
reefs
;
but
nights
like
this
they
bull
right
up
the
channel
against
the
whole
river
.
722
We
could
hear
her
pounding
along
,
but
we
did
n't
see
her
good
till
she
was
close
.
She
aimed
right
for
us
.
Often
they
do
that
and
try
to
see
how
close
they
can
come
without
touching
;
sometimes
the
wheel
bites
off
a
sweep
,
and
then
the
pilot
sticks
his
head
out
and
laughs
,
and
thinks
he
's
mighty
smart
.
723
Well
,
here
she
comes
,
and
we
said
she
was
going
to
try
and
shave
us
;
but
she
did
n't
seem
to
be
sheering
off
a
bit
.
She
was
a
big
one
,
and
she
was
coming
in
a
hurry
,
too
,
looking
like
a
black
cloud
with
rows
of
glow-worms
around
it
;
but
all
of
a
sudden
she
bulged
out
,
big
and
scary
,
with
a
long
row
of
wide-open
furnace
doors
shining
like
red-hot
teeth
,
and
her
monstrous
bows
and
guards
hanging
right
over
us
.
There
was
a
yell
at
us
,
and
a
jingling
of
bells
to
stop
the
engines
,
a
powwow
of
cussing
,
and
whistling
of
steam
--
and
as
Jim
went
overboard
on
one
side
and
I
on
the
other
,
she
come
smashing
straight
through
the
raft
.

I
dived
--
and
I
aimed
to
find
the
bottom
,
too
,
for
a
thirty-foot
wheel
had
got
to
go
over
me
,
and
I
wanted
it
to
have
plenty
of
room
.
I
could
always
stay
under
water
a
minute
;
this
time
I
reckon
I
stayed
under
a
minute
and
a
half
.
Then
I
bounced
for
the
top
in
a
hurry
,
for
I
was
nearly
busting
.
I
popped
out
to
my
armpits
and
blowed
the
water
out
of
my
nose
,
and
puffed
a
bit
.
Of
course
there
was
a
booming
current
;
and
of
course
that
boat
started
her
engines
again
ten
seconds
after
she
stopped
them
,
for
they
never
cared
much
for
raftsmen
;
so
now
she
was
churning
along
up
the
river
,
out
of
sight
in
the
thick
weather
,
though
I
could
hear
her
.
725
I
sung
out
for
Jim
about
a
dozen
times
,
but
I
did
n't
get
any
answer
;
so
I
grabbed
a
plank
that
touched
me
while
I
was
"
treading
water
,
"
and
struck
out
for
shore
,
shoving
it
ahead
of
me
726
But
I
made
out
to
see
that
the
drift
of
the
current
was
towards
the
left-hand
shore
,
which
meant
that
I
was
in
a
crossing
;
so
I
changed
off
and
went
that
way
.
727
It
was
one
of
these
long
,
slanting
,
two-mile
crossings
;
so
I
was
a
good
long
time
in
getting
over
.
I
made
a
safe
landing
,
and
clumb
up
the
bank
.
I
could
n't
see
but
a
little
ways
,
but
I
went
poking
along
over
rough
ground
for
a
quarter
of
a
mile
or
more
,
and
then
I
run
across
a
big
old-fashioned
double
log-house
before
I
noticed
it
.
I
was
going
to
rush
by
and
get
away
,
but
a
lot
of
dogs
jumped
out
and
went
to
howling
and
barking
at
me
,
and
I
knowed
better
than
to
move
another
peg
.

IN
about
a
minute
somebody
spoke
out
of
a
window
without
putting
his
head
out
,
and
says
:
729
"
Be
done
,
boys
!
Who
's
there
?
"
730
I
says
:
