Coleman's ship she sank that night when she carried Diamond into the cathedral to wait for her. In the one boat-load of people which North Wind drove off to a desert island, was Mr. Evans. He had gone along on the ship to manage the business.
Elmer had been so kind to them that all were anxious to do what they could to help him in this time of trouble. Among the first boat-load that Frank ferried across the river was Black Joe, with his "ok" attached to a very small plough, with which he felt confident he could render most valuable assistance.
"And you deliberately chose to expose us to the danger of being eaten alive?" said Lady Hesketh, in an awful voice. "Ricky, I'm going to get into that boat at once; Dorothy Betty Castlemaine bring Alixe and Barbara Lisle. We are going to embark at once." "Ricky and his boat-load of beauty," laughed Sir Thorald.
