The best thing that you can do, when you get free, will be to dress yourselves in your Sunday clothes, take your boat ashore, and buy new things in the place of those we have taken." "That is what we shall do, sir.

No one would believe us, if we told them that three men had come on board and taken our old clothes, and given us money to buy new ones in their place." The three boatmen were all tall and brawny Bavarians, and their clothes fitted Fergus and his companions well.

The little cabin had been almost oppressively warm, and they had completely got over their chill when they left it, closing the door behind them.
They took their places in the boat, crossed to the opposite shore, which was to some extent sheltered from the wind, and rowed some three miles up.

Then they landed, pushed the boat off into the stream, kept along the bank until they came to a road branching off to the left, and followed it until it struck the main road, a few hundred yards away; and then walked west.
There had been but few words spoken since they left the barge.
