But they are not ornamental. The boat you hire up the river above Marlow is not the sort of boat in which you can flash about and give yourself airs. The hired up-river boat very soon puts a stop to any nonsense of that sort on the part of its occupants. That is its chief β€” one may say, its only recommendation.

The man in the hired up-river boat is modest and retiring. He likes to keep on the shady side, underneath the trees, and to do most of his travelling early in the morning or late at night, when there are not many people about on the river to look at him.

When the man in the hired up-river boat sees anyone he knows, he gets out on to the bank, and hides behind a tree.

I was one of a party who hired an up-river boat one summer, for a few days' trip. We had none of us ever seen the hired up-river boat before; and we did not know what it was when we did see it.

We had written for a boat β€” a double sculling skiff; and when we went down with our bags to the yard, and gave our names, the man said:

"Oh, yes; you're the party that wrote for a double sculling skiff. It's all right. Jim, fetch round The Pride of the Thames."

The boy went, and re-appeared five minutes afterwards, struggling with an antediluvian chunk of wood, that looked as though it had been recently dug out of somewhere, and dug out carelessly, so as to have been unnecessarily damaged in the process.


My own idea, on first catching sight of the object, was that it was a Roman relic of some sort (моя ΠΌΡ‹ΡΠ»ΡŒ = я ΠΏΠΎΠ΄ΡƒΠΌΠ°Π», ΠΊΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° Π²ΠΏΠ΅Ρ€Π²Ρ‹Π΅ ΡƒΠ²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅Π» эту Π²Π΅Ρ‰ΡŒ, Ρ‡Ρ‚ΠΎ это ΠΊΠ°ΠΊΠΈΠ΅-Ρ‚ΠΎ римскиС остатки; relic β€” слСд, остаток, ΠΏΠ΅Ρ€Π΅ΠΆΠΈΡ‚ΠΎΠΊ; Ρ€Π΅Π»ΠΈΠΊΡ‚), β€” relic of what I do not know, possibly of a coffin (остатки Ρ‡Π΅Π³ΠΎ β€” Π½Π΅ знаю, Π²ΠΎΠ·ΠΌΠΎΠΆΠ½ΠΎ, Π³Ρ€ΠΎΠ±Π°).

My own idea, on first catching sight of the object, was that it was a Roman relic of some sort, β€” relic of what I do not know, possibly of a coffin.

The neighbourhood of the upper Thames is rich in Roman relics, and my surmise seemed to me a very probable one; but our serious young man, who is a bit of a geologist, pooh-poohed my Roman relic theory, and said it was clear to the meanest intellect (in which category he seemed to be grieved that he could not conscientiously include mine) that the thing the boy had found was the fossil of a whale; and he pointed out to us various evidences proving that it must have belonged to the preglacial period.


To settle the dispute, we appealed to the boy (Ρ‡Ρ‚ΠΎΠ±Ρ‹ Ρ€Π°Π·Ρ€Π΅ΡˆΠΈΡ‚ΡŒ спор, ΠΌΡ‹ ΠΎΠ±Ρ€Π°Ρ‚ΠΈΠ»ΠΈΡΡŒ ΠΊ ΠΌΠ°Π»ΡŒΡ‡ΠΈΠΊΡƒ).

We thought this a very humorous answer on the part of the boy at first (сначала ΠΌΡ‹ сочли это ΠΎΡ‡Π΅Π½ΡŒ Π·Π°Π±Π°Π²Π½Ρ‹ΠΌ ΠΎΡ‚Π²Π΅Ρ‚ΠΎΠΌ /со стороны/ ΠΌΠ°Π»ΡŒΡ‡ΠΈΠΊΠ°), and somebody gave him twopence as a reward for his ready wit (ΠΈ ΠΊΡ‚ΠΎ-Ρ‚ΠΎ Π΄Π°Π» Π΅ΠΌΡƒ Π΄Π²Π° пСнса Π² качСствС Π½Π°Π³Ρ€Π°Π΄Ρ‹ Π·Π° Π΅Π³ΠΎ остроумиС; ready β€” Π³ΠΎΡ‚ΠΎΠ²Ρ‹ΠΉ; Π»Π΅Π³ΠΊΠΈΠΉ, быстрый; wit β€” остроумиС, ΡƒΠΌ); but when he persisted in keeping up the joke, as we thought, too long, we got vexed with him (Π½ΠΎ ΠΊΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° ΠΎΠ½ ΡƒΠΏΠΎΡ€Π½ΠΎ ΠΏΡ€ΠΎΠ΄ΠΎΠ»ΠΆΠ°Π» ΠΏΠΎΠ²Ρ‚ΠΎΡ€ΡΡ‚ΡŒ эту ΡˆΡƒΡ‚ΠΊΡƒ, Ρ‚ΠΎ ΠΎΠ½ Π½Π°Ρ‡Π°Π» Ρ€Π°Π·Π΄Ρ€Π°ΠΆΠ°Ρ‚ΡŒ нас; to keep up β€” ΠΏΠΎΠ΄Π΄Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠΈΠ²Π°Ρ‚ΡŒ; ΠΏΡ€ΠΎΠ΄ΠΎΠ»ΠΆΠ°Ρ‚ΡŒ; to vex β€” Π΄ΠΎΡΠ°ΠΆΠ΄Π°Ρ‚ΡŒ, Ρ€Π°Π·Π΄Ρ€Π°ΠΆΠ°Ρ‚ΡŒ).

To settle the dispute, we appealed to the boy. We told him not to be afraid, but to speak the plain truth: Was it the fossil of a pre-Adamite whale, or was it an early Roman coffin?

The boy said it was The Pride of the Thames.

We thought this a very humorous answer on the part of the boy at first, and somebody gave him twopence as a reward for his ready wit; but when he persisted in keeping up the joke, as we thought, too long, we got vexed with him.
