So we staggered on before the rising gale, trusting to luck, and hoping every moment that we should catch sight of the Onward's lights. It has always seemed to me that the most dangerous point of sailing in a small open boat in a high combing sea is running dead before the wind.

Now they did not try to hide that their fear was an abysmal feeling, horrible and devastating. "Let's get back to the plane and take off. We haven't a chance." They clasped hands again and started running back, their plane their goal.

"I remember when he was plain George Carruthers, running about the streets of Aberdeen, and it was well with him when his shoes weren't broken at the toes and down at heel. He earned his bread then, such as it was; nobody knows how he gets it now. Why does he call himself de Bruce, I wonder?"

A very heavy swell was still running, of course; but it no longer broke, and there was nothing whatever to prevent our resuming our voyage at once, saving the question Whither? The matter, however, that called for our first and most imperative attention was our own condition.

I quickened my step, and walked forward to where A Battery moved along the same road. "Hullo, Dumble," I said. "You and C are running as separate batteries again, aren't you? How did you leave the cider-cellar?" "We came back from there at about 5 P.M." There was a big discussion as to whether we should come farther back.

If you will take down a book of physiology, and find the chart showing the circulation of the blood, you will see a wonderful network of lines spreading out in every direction, but all running, through lighter lines into heavier, and still blacker, until every line converges in the great stomach artery. And everywhere the blood goes there is life.
