`` What do you mean ? '' `` Nothing , only the boat which left St. Johns four hours before us is aground , and ca n't get off . '' `` Well , haste and waste does mean something , after all , '' laughed the speaker . The gentlemen went to bed again ; the _ Woodville _ continued on her course , and when the party came on deck , at seven in the morning , she was in sight of Burlington . Of course , the excursionists were delighted to be able to attend the `` trot . '' At four o'clock in the afternoon , the steamer which had grounded reached Burlington . Some of Lawry 's party came on board in the evening to settle their accounts with the boat .
