Reckon we did, sir, was the answer.

What?

A sunken tree, most likely.

They are the worst things to be met with on the Mississippi.

More than one boat has been sunk by hidden tree trunks.

Did the snag poke a hole into us?

asked Tom.

If it did, we'd better make for sure.

I'll look around and see, said the captain, and did so, accompanied by the boys and Alex.

For the time being, dinner was forgotten.

Fortunately, no great damage had been done.

One sideboard had been loosened, but this was easily nailed tight, and then the houseboat proceeded on her way as before.

I've heard of boats being wrecked by these snags, said Songbird.

One boat I was on, some fifteen years ago, was wrecked that way, said Captain Starr.

She was running at full speed when we struck a big tree that had rather a sharp point.

The point ran through into the cabin and killed two people and the boat sank in ten minutes.

Excuse me from such a disaster as that.

was Fred's comment, while Nelly, who had heard the story, shuddered.

That evening they tied up close to the village of Canston.

Not far south was a large plantation employing a great number of negroes, and some of these came down to take a look at the houseboat.
