sometimes nearly crushing him by
their weight.
In all his life Billy had never
passed such terrific night as this,
but through it all the big life pre-
server held him up and carried him
safely through. Many times there
seemed TO come a lull in the storm
and Billy began to breathe easier
thinking that he would get a little
rest, but the storm would break out
again with new fury each time,
until, when morning came, the
poor goat was battered and bruised
and nearly dead, With the dawn,
however. the storm Gained down
The skies began to clear, the
waves grew smaller, and the wind,
shifting by-and-by, to the opposite
direction from that in which it
had been blowing all night, beat
back the waves and smoothed
them down until by ten o'clock the
ocean was quiet, ruffled only by
gentle swells over which Billy and
his life preserver bodied in com
fort, although he was very tired
and beginning to get hungry.
PART II
Ever since the sky had cleared,
following the storm, Billy had seen
smoke off where sea and sky
seemed to join. Billy knew what
smoke meant. Wherever there was
smoke there were people, and
wherever there were people. there
was food, so he started toward it, |
swimming little bit and resting a |
long while between times. The
smoke grew blacker and presently |
ne saw a little speck under the
smoke, 1t grew larger and larger,
and by-and by he was able to,
make out that it was a big ship
coming in his direction. Poor Billy
