Rectus compared her to a river wheelbarrow.
Soon after we were on board she started off, and then we had a good chance to see the St.John's.

We had been down to look at the river before, for we got up very early and walked about the town.

It is a pretty sort of a new place, with wide streets and some handsome houses.
The people have orange-groves in their gardens, instead of potato-patches, as we have up north.

Before we started, we hired a rifle.

We had been told that there was plenty of game on the river, and that most gentlemen who took the trip carried guns.
