he lake with white…caps and beyond; the moon on the high snow mountains。

 Then the clouds came over the moon again and the mountains and the lake were gone; but it was much lighter than it had been before and we could see the shore。

 I could see it too clearly and pulled out where they would not see the boat if there were custom guards along the Pallanza road。

 When the moon came out again we could see white villas on the shore on the slopes of the mountain and thewhite road where it showed through the trees。

 All the time I was rowing。

The lake widened and across it on the shore at the foot of the mountains on the other side we saw a few lights that should be Luino。

 I saw a wedgelike gap between the mountains on the other shore and I thought that must be Luino。

 If it was we were making good time。

 I pulled in the oars and lay back on the seat。

 I was very; very tired of rowing。

 My arms and shoulders and back ached and my hands were sore。

〃I could hold the umbrella;〃 Catherine said。

 〃We could sail with that with the wind。

〃Can you steer?〃

〃I think so。

〃You take this oar and hold it under your arm close to the side of the boat and steer and Ill hold the umbrella。

〃 I went back to the stern and showed her how to hold the oar。

 I took the big umbrella the porter had given me and sat facing the bow and opened it。

 It opened with a clap。

 I held it on both sides; sitting astride the handle hooked over the seat。

 The wind was full in it and I felt the boat suck forward while I held as hard as I could to the two edges。

 It pulled hard。

 The boat was moving fast。

〃Were going beautifully;〃 Catherine said。

 All I could see was umbrella ribs。

 The umbrella strained and pulled and I felt us driving along with it。

 I braced my feet and held back on it; then suddenly; it buckled; I felt a rib snap on my forehead; I tried to grab the top that was bending with the wind and the whole thing buckled and went inside out and I was astride the handle of an inside…out; ripped umbrella; where I had been holding a wind…filled pulling sail。

 I unhooked the handle from the seat; laid the umbrella in the bow and went back to Catherine for the oar。

 She was laughing。

 She took my hand and kept on laughing。

〃Whats the matter?〃 I took the oar。

〃You looked so funny holding that thing。

〃I suppose so。

〃Dont be cross; darling。

 It was awfully funny。

 You looked about twenty feet broad and very affectionate holding the umbrella by the edges……〃 she choked。
