exclaimed Jack Harvey , grimly . `` Let 's go for the canoe . '' They got the canoe on their shoulders , and made short work of the carry . But it was after ten o'clock when they set their craft afloat in Dark Stream ; and the real work of the day had just begun . Knowing they were really on the right course , however , cheered them . `` Say , '' cried Harvey , in a sudden burst of enthusiasm , `` we 'll not stop at Benton , at all , perhaps ; just keep on paddling down Mill Stream past the city , down into Samoset river , into the bay , and out to Grand Island . Make a week of it . ''
