   1- We meet on the wharf at 4 p.m., with "boys" carrying our towels, bathing gowns and tea.  Captain Raymond helps me into the steam launch, and says that he means to initiate me into the delights of their weekly bathing party.
   2- After about half an hour's trip, we arrive at our destination, where a bathing house and pier have been thoughtfully erected by our hosts.
   3- Captain Raymond tells me that the correct method of entering the water is via the water chute.
   4- He then takes me for a ride upon a plank.
   5- I am taught to float-with disastrous results, owing to game of water polo.
   6- After this, he insists on my resting on a lifebuoy, while he provides me with a cup of tea.
   7- But we are rudely interrupted by Mr. Brown, who chooses to come to the surface at the wrong moment.
   8- As I emerge from the water I encounter a "boy" armed with a trayful of liqueurs, in case of chill.
   9- We steam back at about 7 o'clock. Captain Raymond and I secure a quiet corner behind the coxswain, who promises not to move.
