small boat

Early next morning their numerous chests and boxes were hoisted on deck and lowered to waiting small boats for transportation to shore.

Into the small boats were also loaded salt meats and biscuit, with a small supply of potatoes and beans, matches, and cooking vessels, a chest of tools, and the old sails which Black Michael had promised them.

As though himself fearing the very thing which Clayton had suspected, Black Michael accompanied them to shore, and was the last to leave them when the small boats, having filled the ship's casks with fresh water, were pushed out toward the waiting Fuwalda.

Von Horn ran the small boat within hailing distance of the dismasted hulk whose side was now lined with waving, gesticulating natives.

The Dyaks willingly agreed, and von Horn worked his small boat in close under the Ithaca's stern.

It was quickly decided to abandon the small boat and embark the entire party in the deserted war prahu.

"On the morning of the third day came the skippers of the three schooners and that mate in a small boat. They carried rifles, all of them, and revolvers, and they made talk.

"That afternoon they landed from the schooner in three small boats filled with white men.
