Take care, my lads, not to crowd too much sail, or the boat may upset!
There they go! from Blackfriars’ Bridge, through Westminster Bridge, to
Vauxhall, and back again. What a number of boats there are on the water!
Let us hope no lives will be lost, for it seems rather dangerous to be
near such fast-sailing boats in a loaded wherry; and, as it is much the
safest to be on shore, we would recommend every little boy or girl to
keep off the water at such times.
