I found the ole boat--" "And how did it upset ?" said Harry.
"Humph!" said Tony; "easy enough.

I hadn't nuthin to row with but a bit o' pole, and I got a sorter cross a-gettin' along so slow, and so I stood up and gin a big push, and one foot slipped, an' over she went." "And in you went!" said Harry.
"Yes--in I went.

I don't see what ever put John Walker up to makin' sich a boat as that.

It's jist the meanest, lopsidedest, low-borndedst boat I ever did see." "I don't wonder you think so," said Harry, laughing; "but if I were you, I'd go home as soon as I could, and get some dry clothes." "That's so," said Tony, rising; "these feel like the inside of an eelskin." "Oh, Tony!" said Harry as they walked along up the creek, "did you find out what that thing was ?" "Yes, I did," answered Tony.
"And what was it ?" "It was Captain Caseby." "Captain Caseby ?" cried Harry.
"Yes; jist him, and nuthin' else.

It was his head we seen agin the sky, as he was a-walkin' on the other side of that little ridge." "Captain Caseby!" again ejaculated Harry in his amazement.
"Yes, sir!" said Tony; "an' I'm glad I found it out before I crossed the creek, for my gun wasn't no further use, an' it was only in my way, so I left it in the bushes up here.
