His feelings We're somewhat mixed.
His desire to be saved was divided with
the hope that he might have the honor
Of saving Miss Hamilton alone. He
was disappointed, however. The little
boat was brought alongside, and the
rair was transferred safely and brought
to shore.
Then Charlie noticed his OWN condi.

The entire company rose as if gov

with elevated noses. Miss Hamilton and
Harris had the place to themselves.
At the departure Miss Hamilton
found to her surprise that she had ac-
