Go into your closet and say, "I am determined to be saved, if there is any such thing as salvation." Resolve that if you perish, you will perish in that room, at the foot of the cross, suing for pardon, and you will get it. I have never known a soul come to this who did not soon get saved. Get into the lifeboat.
This, however, was owing to the distressed vessel having exhausted her stock of rockets and torches. Passing under the stern of a schooner which they hailed, the gallant lifeboat crew were pointed out the vessel that had been burning them, riding with a red light in her rigging to attract notice. Making for her, they anchored as usual ahead, and veered down eighty fathoms.
Four figures pulled at the oars while another held the steering sweep. The daring crew was heading the boat straight on for the pitching schooner! "The coast guard!" the old man was now heard to shout. "God bless them fellers!" But Tunis knew it was not the lifeboat from the distant station. He knew the boat, if he could not at first identify those who manned it.
A collier, the Glide, had gone to the bottom after collision with another vessel, named the Glance such strange coincidences there are in real life and the crew of the Glide had taken to their own small ship's boat, while the crew of the Glance had been saved by the Broadstairs lifeboat.
The Mariner lugger was lying on the beach of Deal, and there being no lifeboat in those days a rush of eager men was made to get a place in the lugger, and amongst them, carried away by the desire to do and to save, was the intended bridegroom.
After all they had made better provision for the passengers the Titanic carried than any other line has done, for they had built what they believed to be a huge lifeboat, unsinkable in all ordinary conditions.
I can tell by the look in your eyes. I want you to promise me one thing. If we have to take to the boats, you will come with us " He drew himself up. "My dear Miss Clinton, there is quite a difference between being a stowaway on an ocean liner and being one in a lifeboat. I have no standing on this ship. I have no right in one of her boats. I am the very last person on board to be considered."
This is government work altogether, and maintained solely for the saving of life. The crew of the lifeboat here are not allowed to touch a pound of freight or baggage on a wracked ship. The wracking-masters were appointed and paid by the board of underwriters in New York. Old Captain Brown was general agent on this beach.
"And yet, Jeff," said the captain, sitting down beside him, "you and I thought these events the wreck, and the loss of employment, and the overturning o' the lifeboat, and the thump on the ribs, and the long illness nothing but misfortunes and full of evil at first. There, I'm not goin' to draw no moral. I never was good at that. Come, now, if you've rested enough, we'll up anchor and away.
Finally he made himself clear, the table sank down out of sight, and the Nevian commander cautiously entered the room. At Costigan's insistence, he came up to the plate, leaving near the door three guards armed with projectors in instant readiness. The operative then shot the beam into the galley of the pirate's lifeboat, suggesting that they should be allowed to live there.
