1. The river hands seem to stop working whenever there is hard pulling to be done. They seem rather lazy.

I notice that most of the old river hands are similarly retiring, whenever there is any stiff pulling to be done. You can always tell the old river hand by the way in which he stretches himself out upon the cushions at the bottom of the boat, and encourages the rowers by telling them anecdotes about the marvellous feats he performed last season.

You need to submit each of your other questions one at a time.
