CF tells Missee Lee that he was in prison, but only subsequent to the boat race (which Oxford won that year) and the police court. Then he asks ML if she was interested in rowing; she says that she “coxed Newnham’s second boat” and asked CF did he “low for Oxford”. He says: “I did not. I chucked Oxford before Oxford made up its mind to chuck me. I went off to see the world instead”.

Any enlightenment on what “Newnham’s second boat” means?
