Luckily there is not a breath of wind at present;and I hope there will not be until we are fairly out, otherwise weshould be sure to drift ashore on one side or the other as we godown the channel. " CHAPTER XII BACK WITH THE PRINCE Before throwing off the warps from the shore the captain gave eachman his orders. Two were to stand with fenders, in case the boatdrifted either against another craft or against the wall. Two wereto take the long poles used for punting. An old sail had been tornup in...to strips and wrapped round these, with a pad of old rope atthe end, so that they could push off from the wall without noise. Not a word was to be spoken in case of their being hailed, nor wasthere to be the slightest movement on board unless the use of thefenders or poles were required. Lastly, all took off their boots.
It was half an hour after the turn of the tide when the warps werethrown off. The tide in the inner port was so sluggish that it wasabsolutely necessary to pole the boat along until she got out intowhat was known as the Old Haven, which was the cut leading downfrom the town to the river.
