chapter 11-The next morning, Jerome and George got up early at six. They both tried to sleep again but could not. George told Jerome about an incident when he was at Mrs. Gippings’ house 18 months ago. He forgot to wind up his watch before going to bed. He got up at 3 a.m. and it was still dark outside. Looking at his watch, he got horrified as it was showing time quarter-past eight. He rushed and get ready for work. He went to the door cursing Mrs. Gippings to be a lazy old woman since she had not opened the door.
He went out hastily and found that there were very few people out on the road and no shops had opened. When he looked at his watch it was five minutes to nine. Then he thought that it was something weird and asked a policeman the time. He said that it was three. He told him to go back. When he reached home he couldn't go to sleep. He went out to walk at four in the morning. He again met some policemen who found it strange that he was walking at this hour.

Chapter 14
After lunch, they boat to Sonning, a picturesque village with quaint houses and gardens. They choose an island to camp on for the night, and set about making dinner. At George 's suggestion, they make an "Irish stew" out of potatoes and peas and some of the leftovers. They begin to throw many different things in the pot and Montmorency gets into the spirit by killing and offering a water rat. They pretend to consider adding the rat to the stew, but decide against it. The stew is delicious, J. writes, and they make tea to have afterward. On the journey, Montmorency has shown some animosity toward the teakettle, standing by and growling at it as it begins to hiss and spit. On this occasion, he goes so far as to attack it, grabbing it by the spout as it begins to boil. He learns his lesson and runs off howling
Chapter -15
J 's workaholism
Harris ' idea of J and George rowing the boat and he himself steering does not seem justified to J. J is of the idea that he has been doing more than his 'fair share of work ' on this trip. It seems to him that he has done more than what he should have. It is his passion to accumulate work. George and Harris think that they have been doing more than what J has been doing.
They finally decide that George and Harris would scull pastReadingand J would tow the boat from there.
The old river hand
The old sailors, who are now retiring, tell anecdotes to the new generation sailors about how they sailed bravely in the past.
Early boating experiences
J developed a fondness for water when he went for boating on theRegentPark's lake. After devoting three months to rafting, he went for rowing.
George went to the water toKewwhen he was sixteen with eight other gentlemen. They selected the boat that they thought they would look best in. While they were under theKewBridgethey lost control over the boat. George dipped his oar into the water and it disappeared under the boat.
Harris is more inclined towards sea rowing. He likes to watch an old boatman rowing. He considers an old boatman to be free from haste, which is contrary to the nineteenth century boatmen. It is amusing to see two beginners to try to time with one another. Keeping the bow and stroke in pace is the most difficult task.
Punting
J reflects upon his past experiences of punting. According to him, it is not as easy as it seems to be. He mentions of an incident when a young man fell into the water while he was enjoying the scenery around and was left clinging to the punt (a square boat) and went into the water with the pole.
An amusing incident occurred with J when he went punting with three other fellows. They could not get a punt. Meanwhile, he was sitting and watching the river. There was another man on the river who looked exactly like J. He did not know punting well and did funny things while punting. J 's friends made fun of the man considering him to be J and felt embarrassed after knowing that it was not their friend.
Same sort of an experience once happened with Harris when he was bathing atBoulogne. He was seized by the neck and was forcibly drowned in the water. When he regained his feet, the person behind him stood laughing. The moment he caught the sight of Harris 's face, he apologized for mistakenly considering him to be his friend.
Sailing experience
J considers that sailing is a thing that needs knowledge and practice. He once went for a trip toYarmouth. Hector pulled the sail and J unrolled it. It was a tiring experience for them as the boat travelled upstream at a very low pace. Half the sail was under water. They eventually landed up in a mud-bank which saved them. They were rescued by an old fisherman with immense difficulty
