Saw two other brothers - They were men engaged in the same employment, as it is probable that there were many such in the neighborhood of the lake. In a ship - A small vessel. In fact, it was little more, probably, than a sail-boat. Mending their nets - A very common employment when they were not actually engaged in fishing. return to 'Top of Page'
