Once, he was hanging a picture on the wall. He send the girl to get the nails, boy to tell her the size, Will to get the hammer, Tom to get the ruler, step ladder and the kitchen chair. Jerome would have go to Mr. Goggles for spirit level and Maria had to hold the light. He would lift up the picture, drop it, and cut his finger while saving the frame glass. He could not find handkerchief because it was in the coat and he was sitting on it. He would shout on
everyone, “Oh, you can give it up. I have found it myself now.” At last, he was able to hang the picture on the wall at midnight and the wall would look as it had been smoothed down with a rake. He would then feel that job was done easily and extremely well. Jerome thought that Harris would be exactly like Uncle Podger when he grew up.
The first list was too long so they made another based on what they really use. George said that a person should take with him one or two friend, a cat, a dog, enough food, sufficient clothes and drinks which make the boat easier to pull. George suggested to take a boat with cover instead of taking a tent. George and Harris loved early morning swim but Jerome hated it.
George changed his mind when Harris said that early morning swim gave him an appetite. George told them that two suits of flannel would be enough for journey as they wash them in river. Later, Harris and Jerome regret that they believed George as he knows nothing about washing clothes.

The next topic of discussion was food and George suggested to take a frying pan and a tea pot. They decided to take methylated spirit stove instead of oil stove because once oil had oozed out and spoiled everything by spreading down to the rudder and the river. They decided not to carry cheese because it gave strong smell.

Jerome told them story when he was asked by his friend to carry cheese from Liverpool to London. The horse of the cab get out of control due to odour of the cheese. The porter put a handkerchief on horse nose to control his speed. The people in the train vacated his cabin and even the wife of his friend hated the smell of the cheese that she did not keep it in her room. His friend finally buried them in on the beach.
Next day, they got a big Gladstone for the clothes, hampers for the food items and cooking utensils. They placed everything in a heap in the middle of the floor. Jerome said that the packing should be left entirely to him as he knew more about it and the two friends agreed.
However, he felt irritated as others were doing nothing. Jerome finally finished packing. Harris told him that he forget to pack the boots which makes him irritated. George’s senseless laugh increases his irritation. Jerome unpacked everything not only because of boots but also he could not remembered if he had packed his toothbrush. Jerome finished the packing at 10:05 p.m.
George and Harris started packing of rest of the hampers and they were worst in packing. George started by breaking cup and stepped on the butter and Harris squashed the tomato. They became nervous and placed heavy things above the lighter things. A lot of disaster happened while packing. Harris sat on the butter which was on the chair.
Montmorency put his foot in jam, pretended that lemons were rats and killed three before Harris hit him with a frying pan to get him out of the hamper. They finished by 12:50 a.m. at night and went to sleep. Harris and Jerome asked George to wake them up at 6:30 a.m. but he had already been sleeping. Jerome and Harris placed a bath tub near George’s bed so that he tumbled into it next morning.
