Both took much interest in what the master told them, for they kept questioning him until they learned how he came to leave Scotland and of the voyage. They were struck by his account of the ship grounding off Newfoundland and the wife remarked 'Thee did well to give thanks to Him who saved you. The address of Mr Kerr they asked for, and the master promised to get it.
I observed when they started that, in spite of my warning, they made straight for the land, instead of keeping well to windward to avoid being swept round that point of rock to the west. I led you in the right direction, and that is why we alone are here. If any of the others have been saved, they must be on the other side of that point."
I do believe that you were not serious when you calumniated me; but recollect, that what is said in joke is too often repeated in earnest. I trust that Mr Simple's conduct will have its effect, and that you leave off practising upon him, who has saved you from a very severe punishment."
"Did I?" she asked. "Yes, I believe I did." Mr. Colton looked at us, each in turn. "Humph!" he observed; "I don't seem to be aboard this train. What's the joke?" She saved me the problem of inventing a satisfactory answer. "Oh, it's a little joke of Mr. Paine's and my own," she explained. "I'll tell you about it by and by, Father.

"And she must have saved! I dare say it is nearly L6000 by this time; eh!
If our Alaskan fisheries are to be saved from destruction, there must be further legislation declaring a general policy and delegating the authority to make rules and regulations to an administrative body. For several years we have been decreasing the personnel of the Army and Navy, and reducing their power to the danger point. Further reductions should not be made.
By that time Count Hannibal had saved himself behind the great gates, by the skin of his teeth. The gates had opened to him in time. But none knew better than he that Angers had no gates thick enough, nor walls of a height, to save him for many hours from the storm he had let loose!
The merchant's daughter now appeared at the door of the cabin. Her father took her hand and led her up to Boldero. "This, Dolores, is one of the two Englishmen who have at the risk of their lives saved me from death and you from worse than death. Thank him, my child, and to the end of your life never cease to remember him in your prayers."
