helpless dumb animals, and hung to the
iron stanchsons until dawn.
At the first trace of light the captain
crawled toward the cabin, hoping to save
his papers. He failed, but he found with
out the door the president of the wreck

hanging by their fingers to a lifeboat
that threatened to leave its holdings.

rope was put around him and an attempt

thought it a mistake. But, realz ing there
