Half way between Centre Island and the north shore was another island; and after coasting along by the banks of the lake, applying names to miniature sounds, bays, gulfs, and seas, the Zephyr arrived at its southerly side. HALF WAY BETWEEN CENTRE ISLAND AND THE NORTH SHORE WAS ANOTHER ISLAND AND AFTER COASTING ALONG BY THE BANKS OF THE LAKE APPLYING NAMES TO MINIATURE SOUNDS BAYS GULFS AND SEAS THE ZEPHYR ARRIVED AT ITS SOUTHERLY SIDE
"Can we go through in safety, Uncle Ben?" "Ay, ay; but trail your oars." Frank let the crew pull several smart strokes, and then ordered them to trail. The Zephyr darted through the narrow passage. "Now for the name of the strait," said Frank. "You seem to be at a loss for names; I think you had better call these divisions after the members of the club," suggested Mrs. Sedley. "So we can; the memory of great travellers and navigators has been handed down to their posterity by geographical names,--Hudson Bay, Mount Franklin, Cook's Straits, for example," said Fred Harper, laughing heartily. The proposition received a ready assent; and the strait was called Graham Strait, after the boy who pulled the second oar. "But the island?" said Charles. "Paul Spencer pulls the third oar; we will call it Spencer Island." The position of the boat was a favorable one for observing the conformation of the country, and Mrs. Sedley improved the opportunity to point out the various divisions of the land.
