skiff

The guide will pole the skiff along on the shallow flats from a platform at the back of the boat, while the angler stands ready to cast from the front.

The thrust was nervous and ill-calculated, and the next instant the skiff had blundered under the bows of the launch.

Coming to the first of the dim shapes, he grasped it and thereby propelled the skiff to another beyond.

So we unhitched a skiff and pulled down the river two mile and a half, to the big scar on the hillside, and went ashore.
