“On the raft.”
“What raft?”
“The one that follows the drive. We would drift down the river. The raft is composed of a lot of logs bound together to carry the cook, cookee and their outfit. There are some little huts on it, and it is tied up every night. The men sleep in the huts and in shore camps.”
“What is done with the raft when a bad rapid in the river is reached?”
“It is sent through if the rapids are not too bad. If they are too bad, it is broken up and sent through, then bound together again below. You will enjoy the drift down the river, if you are not in a hurry. What do you say?”
“It’s worth considering,” said Frank. “If the rest of the fellows are willing I’ll go with you. Let’s go over to the hotel and see them.”
So they left the station together.
