How Janey chattered, how the children maundered on about their little concerns, which were of consequence to nobody!
Ahoy, there! Ahoy! Ahoy!" The cry was answered, and in a few minutes Aleck was able to detect the fact from the dying-away of the voices that the search party were growing more distant, so that the next mournful "Ahoy!" fell upon his ears alone, sounding so despairing that the desire to go in search of the appealer for help was stronger than he could restrain.
