"On the maps I have shown the fixed stars and named them, those of the first magnitude being the largest, those of the second magnitude a little smaller, and so on, but I have not by any means indicated all of the second and third magnitude owing to their great number."

There had always been a secret grief in the hearts of Harry and George at the loss of the boat at the mouth of South River, and the Professor joined in their wish to recover it at the first opportunity. Harry again alluded to it on this occasion, and it was decided that such a trip would be a welcome change.
The trip could be made in the wagon, and by consent the four agreed to undertake the journey and bring it back.
"I have often thought it might be done by taking the lifeboat," was George's idea, "and we could fix it up there and sail it back."
"It does not seem to me that would be practical, because it is too much damaged to repair in such a way as to make it safe for such a journey, and if that plan should be adopted all of us should go, and we cannot leave for the length of time necessary to repair it."
"Then we had better take the team. Do you think, Professor, we could haul it back?"
"If you can load it there will be no difficulty in that particular."
