He was safe, for I was talking to him a few minutes ago, in front of the factory." "Perhaps he went back to get the little girl," suggested Bert. "But he's in danger now."

"Get a ladder!" shouted Bert.
"It is lucky it wasn't two feet lower," he said to Bob, "or it would have brought the topsail down; and that would have been a serious loss, now the main-topsail is of no use."

They shouted good-humoured comments to him and bandied jokes among themselves. The whole atmosphere of the place had altered.

"Ef I kin keep her offen de reef twill hit lightens up, we'se all right," whispered Sandy; and suddenly, looking after the retreating cloud, out of which in the gloom now appeared the tops of the mangrove-trees, he shouted exultantly, "Give her de jib," and, with a lunge at the tiller, the vessel fell away and dashed onward at the wall of rock and foam.
