The boys watched the progress the carpenters made in erecting the boat house with the deepest interest, and Uncle Ben got almost out of patience answering the innumerable questions they put to him in regard to what everything was for. THE BOYS WATCHED THE PROGRESS THE CARPENTERS MADE IN ERECTING THE BOAT HOUSE WITH THE DEEPEST INTEREST AND UNCLE BEN GOT ALMOST OUT OF PATIENCE ANSWERING THE INNUMERABLE QUESTIONS THEY PUT TO HIM IN REGARD TO WHAT EVERYTHING WAS FOR
nd arrangements of the boat-house, I have drawn a plan of it, which is here subjoined. If my young readers carefully examine the plan, and refer to the explanations, they can understand the position of the rooms, and the situation of everything connected with the boat-house. [Illustration: Explanations.--_a_, the outside door; _B_, the club hall; _c_, stove; _d, d_, cases for the library; _e_, entrance to the boat hall; _f, f, f, f_, a platform; _g, g_, the boat; _h, h_, the water in which the boat floats; _i_, the door through which the boat passes out upon the lake.] Around the platform a railing was constructed with a gate at the bow, and one on each side of the boat, so that the members of the club could get into it only at these three places. Frank and Charles protested against this railing at first, and maintained that there was not the least danger of their falling into the water; but Captain Sedley, knowing how prone boys are to scuffle and be careless, insisted upon having it. ENTY FEET SQUARE FROM THIS APARTMENT THE BOYS PASSED INTO THE BOAT HOUSE PROPER WHICH WAS SO ARRANGED THAT THEY COULD ALL TAKE THEIR PLACES IN THE BOAT AND PUSH OUT INTO THE LAKE WITHOUT CONFUSION OR INCONVENIENCE BUT AS MY YOUNG FRIENDS UNDOUBTEDLY FEEL A GREAT DESIRE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE IDEA OF THE SITUATION AND ARRANGEMENTS OF THE BOAT HOUSE I HAVE DRAWN A PLAN OF IT WHICH IS HERE SUBJOINED IF MY YOUNG READERS CAREFULLY EXAMINE THE PLAN AND REFER TO THE EXPLANATIONS THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE POSITION OF THE ROOMS AND THE SITUATION OF EVERYTHING CONNECTED WITH THE BOAT HOUSE AROUND THE PLATFORM A RAILING WAS CONSTRUCTED WITH A GATE AT THE BOW AND ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE BOAT SO THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB COULD GET INTO IT ONLY AT THESE THREE PLACES FRANK AND CHARLES PROTESTED AGAINST THIS RAILING AT FIRST AND MAINTAINED THAT THERE WAS NOT THE LEAST DANGER OF THEIR FALLING INTO THE WATER BUT CAPTAIN SEDLEY KNOWING HOW PRONE BOYS ARE TO SCUFFLE AND BE CARELESS INSISTED UPON HAVING IT
