"Agreed!" cried a dozen boys at once. "I thank you for the compliment," said Mary, blushing. The excursion was continued, the boys rowing leisurely, and pausing frequently to listen to the music of the band, and discuss the geographical formation of the lake and its shores. They passed entirely round the lake, and had given so many names to the various divisions of land and water, that it seemed improbable they could ever remember them.

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. "Here is a channel," said Frank; "a passage of water wider than a strait." "Fred's turn; we must call it Harper Channel," replied Tony. "And the island?--we are out of names," continued Frank. "We will call it Mary's Island, after Mary Weston.
