Looking in at the door you see, first of all, two cots, one on either side of the pas- sage; then an open space with a dining-table, a stove, and some chairs ; beyond that a pantry with shelves, and a great chest for provisions.
A door at the ba...ck opens into the kitchen, and from that another door opens into a sleeping- 118 THE BE8TIG0UCHE room for the boatmen. A huge wooden tiller curves over the stem of the boat, and the helms- man stands upon the kitchen-roof. Two canoes are floating behind, holding back, at the end of their long tow-ropes, as if reluctant to follow so clumsy a leader. This is an accurate and duly- attested description of the horse-yacht.
