surf boat

As he scanned the beach his eye was caught by three ladies and three natives standing about a surf-boat in animated discussion.

On the following morning, they landed in a surf boat, and were fortunate in getting ashore without being drenched.

Blake balanced himself on the bow of his surf-boat and tugged and strained until he gained the ladder-bottom.

He threw up his hands, sharply, and flung himself headlong across the body of the dead man in the bottom of the surf-boat.

Once assured that his surf-boat would keep afloat, Blake took the oars and began to row.
