If you get into water, with your eyes shut, you can't open them again." She still puffed a little.

"Coming up was the best.

It's the first time I ever saw the bottom of a boat." "Weren't you frightened ?" I asked.

"Yes," said Corny, "but if you'd missed me that time, I'd never have trusted you again." The gentleman-with-a-wife-and-a-young-lady was in another boat, not very far off, but it was nearer the upper end of the little lake, and none of the party knew of our accident until we were pulling Corny out of the water.

Then they rowed toward us as fast as they could, but they did not reach us until we were at the wharf.
