THE VOYAGE OF THE SLEET
The Scene.—The boat-house landing and the river thereabouts.
The Time.—Four-thirty of the following Saturday afternoon.
Characters.—Dick, Trevor, Carl, Stewart, an ice-yacht, chorus of boys on skates.
Chorus: “Heave-o! Now, all together! Heave!”
Carl: “Hang the thing, anyhow! What’s the matter with it?”
Dick: “Well, since you know all about the art of ice-sailing, it strikes me that you ought to be able to raise a little old pillow-sham of a sail like that!”
Trevor: “Let’s pull on this rope and see what happens.”
Chorus: “How’d you like to be the ice-yachtsmen?”
Carl: “That’s the rope! Take hold here, fellows!”
