came to the narrows where the tide runs very fast, the "Risk" 

 jumped about quite a bit. During the sermon he talked about how 

 glad he had been, on rounding the bend, to see the Uttle school

 for some time. The shore party consisted of Bob, John and Oily in 

 the "Evenrude" and Woody astride a huge pile of luggage in the
