"Stern all!" said the coxswain in vigorous tones, for this order is likely to be given in an emergency. The boys made rather bad work of rowing backwards at first, and it was necessary for Uncle Ben to drill them for half an hour before they could do it as well as their other work. But they were attentive and patient; and at the end of the lesson they could pick up the stroke as readily as the forward movement, even when the manoeuvres were executed in a hurry, for it is generally used when there is need for haste. "How many more things are there to learn, Uncle Ben?" asked number five, who was Charles Hardy. The old salt removed his tarpaulin, scratched his bald head, and said only two. The boys lay on their oars, as it is called when they are levelled. "Starboard oars--back!" said Frank. "Port oars--ahead! Give way!
