he had scarcely handedt the living child to its mother
before he fell back senseess into the arms of those
around him.
But there was not woman on board who would
notnow have pressed forward to call back the faint
ed one into life and the mother of the saved child
threw herself on her knees, and audibly besought
the Almighty not to rob her SO soon Of the saviour
of her only joy.
There was no surgeon on board-as, indeed, there
hardly ever is on board of ships destined for emf
grants-but the Captain had abandoned his medi-
cme-chest to them, and Hoffman drops, sal volatile
and several other powerful remedies were applied,
70 nrng the color back to the pale cheeks, and open
the closed eyelids.
Al last deep sigh escaped from the breast Of the
unconscious one; the women uttered cries of joy,
and Hehrmdn's elder daughter casped her sisters
hand terventy and called her good, dear girl,
while tear gistened in her own eve
Young Werner recovered, though but slowly;
and it was touching to see the woman with the
rescued child on her arm, fall down on her knees
before him, and kiss his hand, that he could hard.
ly prevent her. Even the hardy sailors felt their
hearts warm and soften at the sight.
