The other boy jumped' overboard soon after the box was driven to sea, but whether he was drowned or not this boy does :not know. The Captain of the Smack was very good to the boy, giving hint but little viduals at once, and by that means preserving his life. The box is what the people of Sheerness go up the Rivet with, grappling for eels.
