He saw him take a top out of his pocket, and go to spinning it upon the sidewalk, and then, suddenly seeing some other boys, the young rogue caught up his top and ran after them with shouts of great hilarity and glee. He was an impostor; Mr. George knew this when he refused to give him any money. Mr. George then went on again. He came, at length, to the great gates which led to the pier.
So nerveless were they with fatigue that, when they went by the bend, Spurling forgot to be afraid of the thing which he had seen there; he had not the strength to remember. They reached the pier when the dawn was breaking, so faint that they could not rise and crawl out.

Chipperton he would go off with the boat. Directly Mr. Chipperton set up a yell. "Hi! hi! hi!" he cried. I ran down to the pier, and saw a row-boat approaching. "Hi!" cried Mr. Chipperton. "Come this way! Come here! Boat ahoy!" "We're coming!" shouted a man from the boat. "Ye needn't holler for us." And in a few more strokes the boat touched land. There were two men in it.
She dropped her anchor just outside us, so we had the benefit of the noise all night. I got up at daylight and found the pilot just coming off. He took us to a buoy, a little closer in, and soon the business of coaling and watering commenced.

What possible good could that wretched diving feat of yours do anybody on earth? If my hair weren't already white I am sure it would have turned so in the last half-hour. Look at poor Philip Holt. He seems as nervous as though you were his own sister." Madge and Captain Jules had both taken off their heavy diving suits and were soon shaking hands with every one on the pier.
