Chapter III
DOWN THE RIVER When Snap awoke on Sunday morning, he was very much discouraged, for the sky was overcast, and by church-time it was raining steadily. "This will make it beastly for a start," he grumbled, while on his way to church in the family carriage. "Never mind," answered his father. "You can start Tuesday as well as Monday." "I'd rather start on time," answered the impatient boy.
