nds in a sheer wall. We were now practically of
our destination, and after carefully bumping the nose of the canoe against
the headwall of the canal, we landed at the steps.

Obtaining the assistance of a man with a horse and cart, we conveyed our
craft to Kendal railway station, and after tea took the train (with the
canoe stowed away in the guard's brake) to Windermere station.
Now a difficulty arose as to how to get the canoe safely to
Bowness-on-Windermere, a distance of about a mile and a-half.
We were nearly at our wits' ends for want of a suitable conveyance,
when a kindly disposed 'bus-driver offered to take the canoe inside the
'bus, which offer, needless to say, we literally jumped at; and seated
outside with our craft stowed away inside the vehicle, we proceeded to our
journey's end in this novel fashion, much to the amusement and edification
of the numerous onlookers.

After a short stay by the lakeside, we took our canoe by train back to
London, and so brought to a close one of the most health-giving and
enjoyable holidays it has ever been my lot to spend, and which I shall
always recall with the liveliest feelings of delight.
