that sail was in sight. All that was

kneeling upon a box. The only sail
visible was shirt discolored with sea
water, which was flying from a slender
bamboo pole. Beside the man was a

paddle which he used to support his
feeble body as he raised himself TO
shout for help. The raft was so narrow
and so low in the water that every
slight wave rolled over it from stem to

in his throat, and the hearers only knew
that he had shouted by the convulsive
action of his mouth and chin.
