"Left! Left!"
"Halt!"
"Left! Left!"
The raft was rounding a curve in the stream.
"Left! Left! Push! Push, with a will. More backbone to it, boys! Once more and a glass of toddy at Burke's for each man! Left! Left! Now then! Heave to it! With all your might! Halt! Don't let it pull you off! Hold on to her!" bawled the raft pilot.
"Again! Left! Left!"
"Halt!"
"Now then, Tom! Jump for it!"
"Run out the rope!"
"Snub! Snub!"
