He ~as such splendid chap, cir. ~as
Robbery. and % clever, He took the two
chsirs that were drifting about the room,
and tied them Close together. and then
we waded across 10 the window, and stood
upon the sill.
IL think it's jolly good fun" said Bob
berry. "If you could only see how your
boats bobbing up and down in front
here! Get in quick, or can't hold you.
Here! port her helm, or something! Are
you all right9'
ats splendid" said; "come along"
But when Robbery put his foot on to
the unsteady raft, she went down on one
side with plunge. "Never mind" he
said; "you've just got to push yourself
ashore with this pole, as straight as you
can, and III follow"
swear to you, sir, thought it was
true, or never would have left Robbery.
I took the pole he gave me, and went out
on the restless waters, that I felt we're
blood-red where the setting sun had
touched them. People on the opposite
side cheered and cried and called me, and
Bobbery behind cried out once or twice,
"Ship ahoy" in shrill voice, that l
knew and loved better than anything on
earth, and once heard him say, family
he seemed so far away-"In port at
last"
The people on the shore had ceased
their shouts Of excitement and encour-
agement, the light had died utterly away.
In an awful silence, and an awful dark
ness, jumped to land and held out my
two hands.
Robbery! Bobbery" I cried, 81 want
to thank you"
Did Robbery hear, sir, do you think9
Dopeople hear anything, do people under
stand anything, after they have gone
aways
l only knew that the awful silence was
turning me to stone, that the awful dark
ness was rising like wall between me
and Bobbery-and was afraid. When
called, no one answered me, and was
glad. If his voice was silent, any other
voice would have maddened me Just then,
and wanted nothing more to tell me all
the truth. l learned through the silence
on land and sea how God had answered
my prayer.
They told me afterward how the plank
he was launching to help himself to the
shore drifted away from his hand, and
was out of sight directly, how they would
have saved him if they could, and how,
when they began to shout to him direc-
tions, he made a sign for silence, and
stood straight upon the sill, with the sun
set creeping all about him, and the wa
