You see, me and Bill Smiths kid
went out fshen and afore we
started we got hold of bottle,
and Smiths kid said we could
have dandy time and kitch lots
of fish if we jist took some of the
stuff in the bottle. So when we
got out to the lake we jist implied
the bottle and say we felt tip top.
''Well we got hold of a boat and
went out on the lake, but the fish
wouldn't bite worth cuss. So I
told the kid that I had a darn
good notion to 60 right straight
home. He had the same idea
about the matter, so l jist started
to turn that old boat around and
she tipped right over and spilled
the kid into the lake; see? Well
we jist fused around there long
time a-tryin' to get that old boat
to go where we wanted it to 60. [
managed to get the kid back in
the boat, and then we struck out
for the shore. But tell the truth
of the thing we didn't either one
of us know which shore we were
going to land on. [ jist rowed that
boat about for an hour and we
wasn't darn bit nearer the shore
than we were when we tipped over.
The old boat seemed to travel
around in a ring. Well the kid
thought he could do better, so I
jist let him take the oars. He
said he couldn't row very good till
he took little more warm stuff.
l didn't think he had any more,
but he pulled out another bottle
and between me and the kid it
was soon empty.
'"The kid he just started to row
and he done a little better job
than [ done, kos he struck shore;
but we had to walk halfway round
the lake afore we got to the place
where we tried to steer the boat to.
It was late in the afternoon when
we got on shore, and by the time
we got to town it was way in the
night. It was Saturday night and
