All Aboard: Or Life On The Lake A Sequel To "The Boat Club" This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

It can hardly be supposed that all the boys who take upthis book have read the Boat Club; therefore it becomesnecessary, before the old friends of the club are permittedto reunite with them, to introduce whatever new friendsmay be waiting to join them in the sports of the secondseason at Wood Lake. However wearisome such apresentation may be to those who are already acquainted,my young friends will all allow that it is nothing more thancivility and good manners.Frank Sedley is the only son of Captain Sedley, a retiredshipmaster, of lofty and liberal views, and of the mostestimable character. He is not what some people wouldcall an "old fogy," and likes to have the boys enjoythemselves in everything that is reasonable and proper;but not to the detriment of their manners or morals, or tothe neglect of their usual duties.Having been a sailor all his life, he has none of that fear ofboats and deep water which often haunts the minds offond parents, and has purchased a beautiful club boat for
