boatman

As yet there was no sign of the boatman, but we saw two boys rowing towards us.

“If you want to get out to the yacht, you likely can find some boatman at the dock who will row you over,” the clerk advised.

It was not easy, either, to find a boatman willing or able to go so far—the distance was greater by water than by land.

All in the audience could hear it, and as it came once more our four boys glanced quickly at the boatman.
