CHAPTER VIII THE SECOND LESSON It was hard work for the boys to confine their attention to their studies during the next few days; but Frank Sedley made a severe struggle to do so, and succeeded very well. AST MISSOURI THE SECOND LESSON IT WAS HARD WORK FOR THE BOYS TO CONFINE THEIR ATTENTION TO THEIR STUDIES DURING THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS BUT FRANK SEDLEY MADE A SEVERE STRUGGLE TO DO SO AND SUCCEEDED VERY WELL
to go. "Stand by to toss!" said Frank, prompted by the old sailor. "Toss!" The oars all went up to a perpendicular, with no straggling ones among them; and the Zephyr had headway enough to keep her moving a quarter of a mile. Captain Sedley took off his hat, acknowledging the salute, while Mrs. Sedley waved her handkerchief very vigorously. Then the oars were trailed in due form, and the boat went up to the flat rock where they had embarked. Frank's father and mother came over to congratulate the boys upon the proficiency they had made in a single afternoon. The lady then invited all the crew and Uncle Ben to visit the mansion, where they found a nice collation awaiting them. They had been on the lake all the afternoon, and the air and exercise had given them excellent appetites. Neither the captain nor his wife preached to them, but talked very pleasantly about the boat and the rowing. They took their leave before dark, and a dozen families knew all about the excursion before bedtime.
