Captain Kempt takes his yacht to rescue his son-in-law that is to be, and incidentally rescues me as well, and then to find you here! I suppose you came because your friend Miss Kempt was aboard?" "Yes, we are all but inseparable."
Placentia in England raves of her passion for Philidore exactly as Alovisa in Paris, Emanuella in Madrid, or Cleomelia in Bengal expose the raptures and agonies of their passions. The hero of "The Double Marriage" rescues a distressed damsel in the woods outside of Plymouth exactly as one of Ariosto's or Spenser's knights-errant might have done in the fairy country of old romance.
Everything had turned out so differently from what she had anticipated that she was disappointed above measure, and before he could collect his scattered wits she left the room. "And so it all ends," she thought bitterly, as she chafed up and down the hall. "I sent him out last night as my own 'true knight, wearing my colors, and he rescues another woman.
Of this there is, and there can be, no evidence. There is no evidence that any god takes any interest in the affairs of men that any sides with the right or helps the weak, protects the innocent or rescues the oppressed.

A little heiress of six years is confided to the care of the Mordaunts. The child is kidnapped and Dan tracks the child to the house where she is hidden, and rescues her. The wealthy aunt of the little heiress is so delighted with Dan's courage and many good qualities that she adopts him as her heir. Tony the Hero: A Brave Boy's Adventure with a Tramp.
I have no doubt in this that the person who is afflicted with sins perpetrated in speech and thought and overt act, becomes cleansed at the very sight of Ganga. By holding that sacred stream, touching it, and bathing in its waters, one rescues one's ancestors to the seventh generation, one's descendants to the seventh generation, as also other ancestors and descendants.
These are the figures relating only to considerable shipwrecks, but as life-saving stations are established at nearly every harbor's mouth, and are plentiful about the pleasure cruising grounds of yachts and small sailboats, hundreds of lives are annually saved by the crews in ways that attract little attention. In 1901 the records show 117 such rescues.
