1 Huck, I'll take you right to it in a skiff.
2 Tom Sawyer was in the skiff that bore Judge Thatcher.
3 I'll float the skiff down there, and I'll pull it back again all by myself.
4 He untied the skiff at the stern, slipped into it, and was soon rowing cautiously upstream.
5 As twilight drew on, the ferryboat went back to her accustomed business and the skiffs disappeared.
6 A trifle after noon the boys borrowed a small skiff from a citizen who was absent, and got under way at once.
7 A minute or two later the skiff's head was standing high up, against the boat's swell, and the voyage was begun.
8 They presently emerged into the clump of sumach bushes, looked warily out, found the coast clear, and were soon lunching and smoking in the skiff.
9 He crept down the bank, watching with all his eyes, slipped into the water, swam three or four strokes and climbed into the skiff that did "yawl" duty at the boat's stern.
10 There were a great many skiffs rowing about or floating with the stream in the neighborhood of the ferryboat, but the boys could not determine what the men in them were doing.
11 He was moved to capture the skiff, arguing that it might be considered a ship and therefore legitimate prey for a pirate, but he knew a thorough search would be made for it and that might end in revelations.
