A canoe is a small craft when it comes to packing away a complete outfit for two men and by the time everything was stored away and the two of us were aboard, we only had two or possibly three inches of free board. Hornby sat in the bow, I in the stern, and we both paddled lazily but steadily. Speed was essential but we knew the folly of rushing at it before we were hardened to the heavy work and, in fact, it was not very long until blisters began to make their appearance.
