"The Silver Stream" is an entertaining story of two men who defended the honor of their university in rowing. There were only two men in the small craft, and as they were double sculling, with a long clean sweep, making a musical click of paddlers in the rowlocks, there was little opportunity for conversation. They proceeded with a steady fast rhythm until they were almost in the bridge's shadow. But can they get to their goal after several obstacles fall in their way?
