Bring a rope!" Eddowes the coastguard took charge of the operation, and Mark with beating pulses watched the end of the rope touch the huddled form below. But either from exhaustion or because he feared to let go of the slippery ledge for one moment the sailor made no attempt to grasp the rope. The men above shouted to him, begged him to make an effort; but he remained there inert.
Trehawke, he's a handy chap is Eddowes for the coastguard job.
You could hear it against Shag Rock over the wind. Eddowes, he were a bit upset to think he should have been talking and not a-heard the rocket. But there wasn't a light in the sky, and when we went home along about half past nine we saw Eddowes again and he said he'd been so far as Church Cove and should walk up along to the Bar. No mistake, Mr.
Eddowes speaks of the birth of a child at Crewe, a male, which weighed 20 pounds 2 ounces and was 23 inches long. It was 14 1/2 inches about the chest, symmetrically developed, and likely to live. The mother, who was a schoolmistress of thirty-three, had borne two previous children, both of large size.
Eddowes said he's afeard she'll strike in Dollar Cove unless she's lucky and come ashore in Church Cove." "How's the tide?" asked the Vicar. "About an hour of the ebb," said Ernie Hockin. "And the moon's been up this hour and more." Just then the road turned the corner, and the world became a waste of wind and spindrift driving inland.
And afterwards about nine o'clock when me and Joe here and some of the chaps were in the bar to the Hanover, Eddowes come in again and said she was in a bad way by the looks of her last thing he saw, and he telephoned along to Lanyon to ask if they'd seen her down to the lifeboat house.
However, when the Vicar repeated his suggestion, Eddowes came forward, knelt down by the edge of the cliff, shook himself like a bather who is going to plunge into what he knows will be very cold water, and then vanished down the rope. Everybody crawled on hand and knees to see what would happen.
Mark did not hear his grandfather's reply; he only saw him go over the cliff's edge at the end of one rope while Eddowes went down on another. It would be difficult to exaggerate the effect upon Mark Lidderdale of that night.
"I can't do it alone," he shouted. "He's got a hold like a limpet." Nobody seemed anxious to suppose that the addition of another rescuer would be any more successful. "If there was two of us," Eddowes went on, "we might do something." The people on the cliff shook their heads doubtfully. "Isn't anybody coming down along with me to have a try?" the coastguard demanded at the top of his voice.
Mark prayed that Eddowes, who was a great friend of his, would not come to any harm, but that he would rescue the sailor and be given the Albert medal for saving life. It was Eddowes who had made him medal wise. The coastguard struggled to slip the loop under the man's shoulders along his legs; but it must have been impossible, for presently he made a signal to be raised.
