"Won't we have a glorious time!" continued Charles, as he placed one foot on the bow of the boat. "Don't get in, Charley; that isn't fair," interposed Tony Weston. "It won't do any harm;" and Charles stepped into the boat. Half a dozen other boys, carried away by the excitement of the moment, followed his example, and jumped in after him.
