Answer:
The writer and his friends-George and Harris are struggling with the continuous rain. They are paddling the boat and trying to reach Pangbourne at least by five o'clock. But it was pouring down heavily. Their eatable things had also lost its taste. The writer did not find any difference between the first day and the second day. They are sitting in the boat wrapped in their mackintoshes underneath the canvas and drifting slowly down towards their destination. In fact, the weather had changed totally against the fate of the writer and his friends-George and Harris. But as the true friends should behave, they have made up their minds on one point. They
have decided that they would go through this boating trip to its final end. Harris reminded the writer and George of their commitment that they had come out for a fortnight's enjoyment on the river. He further said that if they would be killed that would be a really sad thing for them as well as their friends and relatives. But they could not change their trip. Moreover, he also expressed that to give in to the bad weather would be a most shameful for them because they were young and strong. Obviously, it shows the firm determination of Harris. We should learn from him that whatever decision we take once, we have to give it a final shape at any cost.
