Glad to see you, o' course," said the coxswain, who was busy at work altering the cords of the life-belt. "But he says you must go ashore again wi' me, and as there's rough weather ahead, you and me's got to wear these here." "I don't think I feel quite so sick now, 'Jack," said the boy; the knowledge that his father was not angry, acting wonderfully upon him.
"We picked up the Olympic and told her we were sinking by the head and were about all down. As Phillips was sending the message I strapped his life-belt to his back. I had already put on his overcoat. Every minute was precious, so I helped him all I could. "From aft came the tunes of the band. It was a rag-time tune, I don't know what.
Perhaps I may say that in every difficulty, patience is a life-belt. I beg of you to be patient still. 'Mr. Amble, I shall think you foolish, said the spouse, with a nod of more than emphasis. My dear, you have only to decide, was the meek reply.
I see that even in his overcoat our friend is swimmer enough to reach the bank. You find our methods harsh, Ledsam?" he asked, turning a challenging gaze towards the latter. Francis, who had been watching Shopland come to the surface, shrugged his shoulders. He delayed answering for a moment while he watched the detective, disdaining the life-belt, swim to the opposite shore.
He did not find it as quickly as he should have; but he was there at last, and a deft steward quickly divested him of the life-belt and other garments for which there no longer seemed to be any need.

"Hush, Tommy. Hush do you hear? Can you swim?" "No," and he clutched hold of her as another wave broke over the boat. "There's a life-belt here somewhere," and Andy threw things out in frantic haste. "Here.
I have to go all round the boat and see that everybody has one." "Right," I said, and so I donned my life-belt, and passing along the deck stood underneath the Captain's bridge and gazed around.
Iris, who was nearer yielding now that there was a prospect of being rescued than when death was clamoring at her feet among the trembling remains of the ship, silently permitted Coke and a sailor to strip off a life-belt and tie her and Hozier back to back.
You take your lump of sugar and eat it; that is as good as a quarter of a pound of meat." He then threw the broken bladder overboard, and from the packing case brought out another, which he fastened to the life-belt. He had evidently thought of everything. I was petrified with amazement.
