"Let's see, you boys have not been through here, have you?"
"We were below decks the other time, sir."
"Oh, yes, I remember. We will take the Canadian locks this time. The Canadian locks are on the left and the American locks on the right, but the latter are too short to hold a boat as long as this one, so we are obliged to take the Canadian side."
"Why do we have to lock through?" questioned Jarvis.
"To get around the rapids, and for the further reason that Huron lies lower than Superior. This is Whitefish Bay. The light that we have just dropped to starboard is Whitefish Point Lighthouse. Rush, do you see that red light yonder?"
"Yes, sir."
"Point on it."
"I can't see the bow of our boat so as to tell whether I am pointing on the light or not."
"I'll fix that."
