About this book
Ready About or, Sailing the Boat is by Oliver Optic. Matt has twelve students to instruct in the art of sailing a boat, and he directs them to take their places in the two boats that were waiting for them. The captain conducts the strangers to the office under the schoolroom, where a speaker says all students are registered when they come and that any money they have is kept in that steel safe.
The machinist goes below to look at the prisoners and finds them fast asleep still. The narrator says the prisoners had probably been up all night, besides being charged with beer, and were not likely to give their captors any trouble. Dory had carried the painter of the tender to the stern of the schooner, and as it was a long rope, the boat was held half way between the vessel and the shore. Dory takes the wheel himself, and the mainsail flaps and bangs with tremendous violence.
