Later on the girls served their guests with cake and coffee . Larry Goheen , who , like Jane McCarthy , was gifted with true Irish wit , was the life of the party . He and Crazy Jane bandied words and said witty things to each other to the delight of the rest of the company . The boys took their leave at ten o'clock . First , they left a lantern for the houseboat , which George Baker lighted and set in place at the stern . The anchor light of the houseboat had been lost in the storm of the previous night , or else it had been stolen , which latter they doubted . The girls were quite ready to retire , and lost no time in turning in after the departure of their guests .
