"You're an old trump, King," cried Marjorie, flinging her arms around her brother's neck, and kissing his wet cheeks; "you're a hero, and a life-saver, and a Victoria Cross, and everything!" "There, there, Midget, come off! I didn't do anything much; Molly here did the most, but, thank goodness, we all got out alive! Now what shall we do next?"
Coxeter see, I've brought your bag out of the saloon." The man whose name he knew to be Victor Munich was standing at his elbow. "Look here, don't take offence, Mr. Coxeter, I think better of the " he hesitated "the life-saver that you've got in this bag of yours than you do. I'm willing to give you a fancy price for it what would you say to a thousand pounds?
For he was a righteous man in all his ways, and kind-hearted to every creature in trouble; and he was a life-saver, and not a murderer. And this I, his loving son, will maintain to my last breath. And if, after these words, any man says, 'Liot Borson was a murderer, I will call him a cowardly liar and slanderer at Lerwick Market Cross, and follow the words to the end they deserve.
He thought long and intently over what she had said as he smoked his cigar on the great balcony that night. In his heart he knew he was adding horror, but that persistent hope of the life-saver came up fresh and strong to combat the argument. He saw, in one moment, the vast chasm between the man and the princess; in the next, he laughed at the puny space.
"He's got him," shouted the crowd, also seeing the guard pick something out of the water. "I guess he had to lay him in the bottom of the boat." "Maybe he's dead!" the people said, still believing the life-saver had been after some unfortunate swimmer. "Oh, he's got him! He's got him!" cried Freddie, joyfully, still keeping up the mistake for the sightseers.
The floor was laid on 2 × 4 inch scantlings, so there was nothing to keep snakes from working their way under. It should have been banked around the foundation with sod. The next day a homesteader's little girl was bitten. Oh, for serum! But if there were any such life-saver on the market we had no way of getting it.
I sighed and looked as helpless as a nut under the hammer. Bunch laughed again. "Oh, very well," he said, "I see I'm the only life-saver on duty so I'll do a single specialty and pull you out of the pickle bottle." I grasped my rescuer's hand and shook it warmly in silence. "Leave a front window open," Bunch directed, "and somewhere around two o'clock I'll squeeze through."
By the time the men had been supplied the officers were finished with their duties, and having got word of the Pilot's coffee stall, came crowding in. One and all they were vociferous in their praise of the chaplain, voting him a "good fellow" and a "life-saver" of the highest order. But it was felt by all that Corporal Thom expressed the general consensus of opinion to his friend Timms.
A great log came drifting along, and struck against a pier; the end swung round, and it rested for a few moments, beating against the wooden wall. This, it was evident, was a wrecked vessel, and it behooved the boy John, as a hero and a life-saver, to rescue her passengers. Seizing a pole, he lay down on his stomach and carefully drew the log toward him, murmuring words of cheer the while.
It's possible that he thought he had killed his assailant, and had an unpleasant vision of being detained in the local jail until the affair could be cleared up." The life-saver looked at Orme searchingly. "That sounds pretty straight," he said at last. "I guess you know what you are talking about." "Perhaps I do," said Orme quietly. "In any event I'd like to see who's in that boat out there."
