"Oh, there comes a big one!" and, as he spoke, an immense comber buried from sight the two whom the life-savers were endeavoring to pull from the grip of the sea. "If they can only hold their breaths long enough, they may come through it," said Blake. "But it's a tough proposition." "It sure is," agreed his chum.
Between the shock, the excitement of his rescue by the life-savers, he is very, very ill, too ill to be removed to a hospital; and he is at Killykinick with only boys and men to care for him," continued Father Rayburn. "The doctors tell me an experienced nurse is necessary, and we can find none willing to take so serious a case in such a rude, remote place.
The beach apparatus has received the greatest attention from inventors, since that part of the life-savers' outfit is depended upon to rescue the greatest number. With a rush the surf-boat rolled in on a giant wave amid a smother of foam, and no sooner had her keel grated on the sand than her crew were out knee-deep in the swirling water and were dragging her up high and dry.
The captain of the life-savers comes into view outside the big open door, at left; he appears to have been hurrying, peers in, sees the men, goes quickly to them. CAPTAIN: I'll take this now, boys. BRADFORD: No need for anybody to take it, Capt'n. He was dead when we picked him up. CAPTAIN: Dannie Sears was dead when we picked him up. But we brought him back. I'll go on awhile.
A few moments later I too was sleeping quietly. The nights were the life-savers. The evening, in which the air cooled first in the draws, then lifted softly to the tableland, cooling the body, quenching the thirst as one breathed it deeply. The fresh peaceful night. The early dawn which like a rejuvenating tonic gave one new hope. Thus we got our second wind for each day's bout.
They worked quickly and effectively, their training standing them in good stead at this time. Before many seconds had passed, Jack opened his eyes, gasped weakly and then sat up on the edge of the bunk. Blinking his eyes, he put his hand over his heart. Arnold shouted for pure joy. "Hurrah, Frank!" he cried up the companion-way, "Jack is coming to! What do you think of us for life-savers?"
And then Father Tom looked on with keen interest as the sturdy life-savers made ready for the swift-coming tempest that was very soon upon them, bringing Blake and Ford back, breathless and drenched, to report their observations along the beach, that there was nothing in sight: everything had scudded to shelter.
At right of the big sliding door is a drift of sand and the top of buried beach grass is seen on this. There is a door left, and at right of big sliding door is a slanting wall. Door in this is ajar at rise of curtain, and through this door BRADFORD and TONY, life-savers, are seen bending over a man's body, attempting to restore respiration.
They are worthy that you should accept them with favour, for they are presented to you by the bravest and most loyal of our life-savers." It is said that my reply was very eloquent, but I cannot affirm that that reply was really made by me. I had lived for several hours in a state of over-excitement from successive emotions. I had taken no food, had no sleep.
The performance furnished a fruitful harvest for the life-savers. As for me, I played La Dame aux Camelias for the first time in France. I was really inspired. I affirm that those who were present at that performance experienced the quintessence of what my personal art can give. I spent the night at my place at Ste. Adresse. The day following I left for Paris.
