"The Greater Power"
Harold Bindloss W. Herbert Dunton
These tarpaulins let in a lot of water-" here he lifted his arms so she could see the openings herself-"and then I got in over my boots trying to plug the holes in the sluiceway with some plank."
"Peter A Novel of Which He is Not the Hero"
F. Hopkinson Smith
He commenced by running through the sluiceway and over the dam, as usual, standing up in his tossing canoe, and was soon out of sight behind a point in a wild gorge.
"Canoeing in the wilderness"
Henry David Thoreau
