The Slovak boats get up all right, by aid of a rope and steering with knowledge.

Some went up only a few hours before.

Godalming is an amateur fitter himself, and evidently it was he who put the launch in trim again.
Finally, they got up the rapids all right, with local help, and are off on the chase afresh.
