I devoted some three months to rafting, and, being then as proficient as there was any need to be at that branch of the art, I determined to go in for rowing proper, and joined one of the Lea boating clubs.
Io dedicai circa tre mesi all’esercizio della zattera, e, avendo progredito quanto bastava in questo ramo dell’arte, risolsi d’imparare a modo quella del remo, ed entrai in una delle società di canottaggio del Lea.
