My sons ran over the ship.

Jack came trundling a wheelbarrow, which he said would be excellent for fetching the potatoes in.
But Fritz brought me good news: he had found, between decks, a beautiful pinnace (a small vessel, of which the prow is square), taken to pieces, with all its fittings, and even two small guns.

I saw that all the pieces were numbered, and placed in order; nothing was wanting.

I felt the importance of this acquisition; but it would take days of labour to put it together; and then how could we launch it?
At present, I felt I must renounce the undertaking.

I returned to my loading.
