When Mrs. Garfield found that James had become unsettled and restless, she decided to give way, and allow him to obtain some experience of a seafaring life. Finding that he had no definite plan in his mind, she proposed that he should try a voyage on Lake Erie. This suggestion fell in with his wishes, and, once more taking his bundle in his hand, he set out to seek his fortune.

e broad expanse of water before him. At first he lost much time watching the ships, but when he found that his work suffered, he gave it all his attention. When he spoke to his sister about being a sailor, she replied as her mother had done, and told him that he had better be anything than that. He was too clever, she said, to throw away his abilities on board a ship. When the work was done, James carried the money he had earned to his mother, and then engaged to help a farmer who lived a few miles away. The work was very hard, and the men were busy from early morning till late at night. James, however, would not be beaten. "If I can't do as much as others do," he said, "I will give up the job." At the end of the season he received his wages, and the farmer said, as he paid him, "You've done well." CHAPTER X THE ROPE THAT SAVED HIM.
