Nevertheless, he passed in person from rank to rank, from post to post, seeing that the wounded were provided for, encouraging those that remained unhurt, and endeavouring to infuse a portion of his own courage into the survivors of his panic-stricken army. Nor was he entirely unsuccessful, as the night wore on and the expected assault was still delayed.
Panic-stricken she raised her head; and at sight of him a blind impulse to finish with him possessed her to crush out that menace end it for ever open his eyes to the inexorable truth. "Lean nearer," she said quietly. Every vestige of blood had left her face. "Listen to me. Two years ago I was told that I am a common foundling.

On this portion were two passengers and one of the crew. The former were apparently panic-stricken; the latter made frantic but futile attempts to haul in on the rope. "Bear a hand, boys!" cried Edwin Jack, as he laid hold of the inner end of the rope.
