had to go alongside the ship TO bring

again swung into position. He climbed up still
further ana got his hand on the rail- IL was
pushed on and the ladder let go. But for the fact
that the steamer, which was underway, sucked
the yawlboat close to her side, he would have gone

or more down into the yawl, and at the same time
the bell In the steamships engine-room was heard
to ring rOf more steam. The North Erin then
steamed out or the capeS, taking the pilot, Mr..
