Turly stood looking at it, and Terry was soon beside him.
"It doesn't look a very busy boat," said Turly. "It has neither sails nor oars; it looks quite out of practice."
"I suppose it is getting a rest," said Terry.
"Boats don't get tired. I think there must be something the matter with it. I'll just get in and see what is wrong."
The next moment he was in the boat.
"I don't see anything wrong," said Turly. "It's a very nice boat. Jump in, Terry! It's awfully good fun to be in a boat."
"It waggles," said Terry, "and if I fall in there will be a fuss. I think Nurse is tired of changing our clothes. But there, I'll pull it up close by the rope. All right!" and Terry was also in the boat.
"We can pretend we are on a voyage," said Turly. "What country would you like to discover? America, or Robinson Crusoe's Island?"
"Oh, those were discovered long ago!" said Terry. "I would rather have quite a new island. If it wasn't it wouldn't be discovering, you know."
"I want a new continent," said Turly. "If I discover anything it must be a continent; islands are not up to much."
