What is Rowboat?

Sylvie is in the habit of stealing a local man's rowboat to explore the far reaches of the lake. She finds it each time he hides it. When he chases after her throwing rocks, she is unmoved and considers him crazy for yelling. By the time Sylvie returns the rowboat on the last occasion that she takes it, she is in so much trouble for taking Ruth home via a boxcar that the sheriff never mentions it.
