give a brief account of the packing incident in the novel three man in a boat?

They of course meant he'd pack while they watched from lounging positions. J. packed all their personal belongings, from boots to toothbrushes. And it was boots and one toothbrush that he left out. After going through several unpleasant rounds of unpack, repack, unpack, repack, the job was done, with only the soap (possibly) and J.'s tobacco-pouch giving further trouble....
