Jeanne Dessalle was instinctively moved to rebel, and turning upon her, exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

"Hurray!" shouted out Jorrocks, leading a cheer; and Pat Doolan seconding him heartily, the hands started at the rigging with greatly renewed vigour, slashing at the shrouds and stays until they parted, and the foremast was at last cut away clear, floating astern on the top of the rolling waves. "There it goes!" cried the skipper, "and joy go with it for deserting us in that unhandsome way!"
