A terrific splashing in his rear, as well as the loud shouts of his friends, warned Guy of the imminence of danger. Fairly pushing Sir Arthur out of the canoe into the water, waist deep, he tossed the provisions far out on the island, caught up the guns, and made a frantic leap. He landed on the edge of the sand, and was instantly caught by eager arms, and pulled far up the beach.
They are going towards Cervia." "No! See, father! They are turning off from the road to the left. Where does that turning to the left go?" "Only into the forest, daughter, or to that little farm-house you see there just at the edge of it. You may get as far as the sea- shore through the Pineta; but the road is very bad for a carriage."

She quickly perceived what worked in his heart, and this discovery inflamed her the more towards him. She rose up, went to Ebn Thaher, and, after whispering to him the cause of her coming, asked the name and country of the prince.

But when the limestone is so far undermined that it is no longer able to bear the weight of the water, fragments break off from time to time from its edge and fall into the abyss with a deafening noise.
"Yes, yes, you were saved, and I was very pleased."
