All Aboard; or, Life on the Lake

CHAPTER VI
3/9

"I am sorry you were not with us to share the honors." "We should have been, if it hadn't been for Tim Bunker," said Charles Hardy, a little sourly.
Tim had gone with the Butterfly, or Charles would not have dared to make such a remark.
"And if you had had your way, we shouldn't have come when we did," added William Bright, smartly.
"What do you mean, Bill ?" "Didn't you protest against passing the rocks." "I did, because it was directly in opposition to Captain Sedley's orders." "Never mind, fellows," interposed Frank; "for my part, I am glad the Butterfly had it all to herself.

She has just come out, and it will be a feather in her cap." "But we saved the chaise," said Charles.
"We pulled it ashore; it was safe enough where it was.

The Butterfly saved the lives of the man and woman, and of the horse.

They would have drowned, and all the glory consisted in saving them.

Tony and his crew deserve all the credit, and I, for one, am happy to accord it to them." "That's just like you, Frank!" exclaimed Little Paul.
