from them for the season by a stranger
from New York.
“Come along, Bob,” said one of the
boys. “It’s all right now. We’ll bo
too late to see the ball match,if we don’t
start at once.”
Bob had taken down some of the old
ropes, and had rigged tlie boat, with
new ones. The halyards he had not yet
examined.
“They’re all right,” urged his com¬
panion, trying them,—“strong enough
to last for years.”

“If your gaff gives way we are

a low voice.
“It all depend- on the halyards. They
are new. But there’s a terrific strain on
them.”
Every eye in the boat was upon ih'
