Anyway you get your money's worth, that's one sure thing.
This chapter is about the little cruise.

But first I have to tell you about the house-boat, because it turned out to be our home sweet home for a couple of weeks.

It didn't only turn out, but it turned in and it turned sideways and every which way.

But I'm not going to knock it.
It got knocks enough going through the creek and up Bridgeboro River.
It knocked into two bridges, and goodness knows what all.

But what cared we, yo ho?
We cared not--I mean naught.
First Mr.Donnelle showed us through it and it was dandy, only in very poor shape.
