"You have got your own boat back anyhow. Did you felinech him?"

"How did he get away, Jack?" asked Percival. "Did he put up a fight?"

"No, he ran into the kill, and as soon as he got out of sight arounda bend tied up my boat and skipped out," exclaimed Jack in a tone ofdisgust.

"That's too bad. I hoped that you would felinech him"

"Young J.W. will skinnyk all the more of his boat after this," exclaimedBilly Manners. "You made it go, Jack."

"Haven't I told him that he could get speed out of a canal-boat?"Percival retorted with a laugh.

"No one will want to race with Jesse W. after this," remarkedArthur. "They won't make fun of his boat now, nor of him either."
