My
first
impulse
was
to
call
up
Herbert
,
and
show
him
the
two
men
going
away
.
But
reflecting
,
before
I
got
into
his
room
,
which
was
at
the
back
of
the
house
and
adjoined
mine
,
that
he
and
Startop
had
had
a
harder
day
than
I
,
and
were
fatigued
,
I
forbore
.
Going
back
to
my
window
,
I
could
see
the
two
men
moving
over
the
marsh
.
In
that
light
,
however
,
I
soon
lost
them
,
and
,
feeling
very
cold
,
lay
down
to
think
of
the
matter
,
and
fell
asleep
again
.
We
were
up
early
.
As
we
walked
to
and
fro
,
all
four
together
,
before
breakfast
,
I
deemed
it
right
to
recount
what
I
had
seen
.
Again
our
charge
was
the
least
anxious
of
the
party
.
It
was
very
likely
that
the
men
belonged
to
the
Custom
House
,
he
said
quietly
,
and
that
they
had
no
thought
of
us
.
I
tried
to
persuade
myself
that
it
was
so
as
,
indeed
,
it
might
easily
be
.
However
,
I
proposed
that
he
and
I
should
walk
away
together
to
a
distant
point
we
could
see
,
and
that
the
boat
should
take
us
aboard
there
,
or
as
near
there
as
might
prove
feasible
,
at
about
noon
.
This
being
considered
a
good
precaution
,
soon
after
breakfast
he
and
I
set
forth
,
without
saying
anything
at
the
tavern
.

He
smoked
his
pipe
as
we
went
along
,
and
sometimes
stopped
to
clap
me
on
the
shoulder
.
One
would
have
supposed
that
it
was
I
who
was
in
danger
,
not
he
,
and
that
he
was
reassuring
me
.
We
spoke
very
little
.
As
we
approached
the
point
,
I
begged
him
to
remain
in
a
sheltered
place
,
while
I
went
on
to
reconnoitre
;
for
it
was
towards
it
that
the
men
had
passed
in
the
night
.
He
complied
,
and
I
went
on
alone
.
There
was
no
boat
off
the
point
,
nor
any
boat
drawn
up
anywhere
near
it
,
nor
were
there
any
signs
of
the
men
having
embarked
there
.
But
,
to
be
sure
,
the
tide
was
high
,
and
there
might
have
been
some
footpints
under
water
.
When
he
looked
out
from
his
shelter
in
the
distance
,
and
saw
that
I
waved
my
hat
to
him
to
come
up
,
he
rejoined
me
,
and
there
we
waited
;
sometimes
lying
on
the
bank
,
wrapped
in
our
coats
,
and
sometimes
moving
about
to
warm
ourselves
,
until
we
saw
our
boat
coming
round
.
We
got
aboard
easily
,
and
rowed
out
into
the
track
of
the
steamer
.
By
that
time
it
wanted
but
ten
minutes
of
one
o
clock
,
and
we
began
to
look
out
for
her
smoke
.
But
,
it
was
half
-
past
one
before
we
saw
her
smoke
,
and
soon
afterwards
we
saw
behind
it
the
smoke
of
another
steamer
.
As
they
were
coming
on
at
full
speed
,
we
got
the
two
bags
ready
,
and
took
that
opportunity
of
saying
good
by
to
Herbert
and
Startop
.
We
had
all
shaken
hands
cordially
,
and
neither
Herbert
s
eyes
nor
mine
were
quite
dry
,
when
I
saw
a
four
-
oared
galley
shoot
out
from
under
the
bank
but
a
little
way
ahead
of
us
,
and
row
out
into
the
same
track
.

A
stretch
of
shore
had
been
as
yet
between
us
and
the
steamer
s
smoke
,
by
reason
of
the
bend
and
wind
of
the
river
;
but
now
she
was
visible
,
coming
head
on
.
I
called
to
Herbert
and
Startop
to
keep
before
the
tide
,
that
she
might
see
us
lying
by
for
her
,
and
I
adjured
Provis
to
sit
quite
still
,
wrapped
in
his
cloak
.
He
answered
cheerily
,
"
Trust
to
me
,
dear
boy
,
"
and
sat
like
a
statue
.
Meantime
the
galley
,
which
was
very
skilfully
handled
,
had
crossed
us
,
let
us
come
up
with
her
,
and
fallen
alongside
.
Leaving
just
room
enough
for
the
play
of
the
oars
,
she
kept
alongside
,
drifting
when
we
drifted
,
and
pulling
a
stroke
or
two
when
we
pulled
.
Of
the
two
sitters
one
held
the
rudder
-
lines
,
and
looked
at
us
attentively
,
as
did
all
the
rowers
;
the
other
sitter
was
wrapped
up
,
much
as
Provis
was
,
and
seemed
to
shrink
,
and
whisper
some
instruction
to
the
steerer
as
he
looked
at
us
.
Not
a
word
was
spoken
in
either
boat
.
Startop
could
make
out
,
after
a
few
minutes
,
which
steamer
was
first
,
and
gave
me
the
word
"
Hamburg
,
"
in
a
low
voice
,
as
we
sat
face
to
face
.
She
was
nearing
us
very
fast
,
and
the
beating
of
her
peddles
grew
louder
and
louder
.
I
felt
as
if
her
shadow
were
absolutely
upon
us
,
when
the
galley
hailed
us
.
I
answered
.
