Percy spent most of his time allowing his chauffeur to drive a high-power motor car and Clarence was a young man whose sole ideas in life was to look pretty in order to make a hit with the fair sex. However, when they found that Bessie Pendleton was passionately fond of the water, which fact enabled a certain George Graham to see a great deal of her, it became evident to their young minds that something had to be done. They did not play the game quite fairly, because they first went to Bessie's grandmother and told her that George was really not a fit associate for her granddaughter. Then they proceeded to hire the only sailboat in town. This raft would hardly be selected to sail for a challenge cup, because her rig was decidedly primitive and a long oar took the place of a rudder. But to their excited imagination she was quite a trim little ship. To the owner's rather dubious inquiry as to their ability to sail, they replied to the effect that they had been brought up on the briny deep. So they arranged themselves fearfully and wonderfully in sailor togs, because one must do this sort of thing properly, you know, and the party, with Bessie and her grandmother, started merrily off. But somehow the boat didn't act as she was expected to. Notwithstanding the fact that they used nautical expressions that were beyond criticism, at first, the boat either stood stock still or pursued a devious course that was somewhat terrifying. Finally, she "jibed" and George, who up to this time had been watching the operation with amusement, made a hurried dash in his motor-boat to the rescue of the struggling party in the water. All were safely taken aboard with the exception of Clarence and Percy who, astride of the upset sailboat, were towed ashore. They then and there passed a unanimous resolution that they would have to forego the further pleasure of Bessie's company and that motor cars were infinitely preferable to sailboats.
