afe, mother, are we not?" "We are; but, Frank, you should never expose yourself, and especially not others, to needless peril." "We were in no danger." "I think you were." "The Zephyr is under perfect control; she feels the slightest turn of the rudder." "Suppose Uncle Ben's boat had swerved a little from her course?" "There was no fear of that." "You do not know. If it had, we might have been drowned, many of us at least." Frank looked serious. "Ask Uncle Ben what he thinks about it." "Let fall," said Frank. The boys began to pull again, and the coxswain steered so as to bring the Zephyr in a circle round the Sylph. "Now we will keep alongside, but at a safe distance," said he, as he laid her course parallel with that of his companion. The band was preparing to play the tune which Frank had requested. The Sylph was making very good progress through the water, and the rowers kept pulling with a very slow stroke. "You were careless, Frank," said Uncle Ben, when the band stopped playing.
