The crew went on foot to the boat-house and returned in the barge to their shell which they towed down the river. The accident is similar to that which befel the sophomore crew this spring.

Next Harvard and Dame Daffodill appear and discover that fact, and the scene changes to where the maidens are waiting instant death tied to a rickety stake. The braves vanish for a moment, and their victims take the opportunity to call for aid by blowing a vivacious duet on trumpets. Enter Stubs, who after comic business with the Indians rescues the forlorn females. The wretched John Harvard mean while has been searching for said forlorn females...
