The
motor
throttled
down
two
hundred
yards
from
shore
and
one
of
the
young
men
dove
flat
over
the
edge
.
He
swam
at
the
aimless
twisting
board
,
steadied
it
,
climbed
slowly
to
his
knees
on
it
—
then
got
on
his
feet
as
the
boat
accelerated
.
Leaning
back
he
swung
his
light
vehicle
ponderously
from
side
to
side
in
slow
,
breathless
arcs
that
rode
the
trailing
side
-
swell
at
the
end
of
each
swing
.
In
the
direct
wake
of
the
boat
he
let
go
his
rope
,
balanced
for
a
moment
,
then
back
-
flipped
into
the
water
,
disappearing
like
a
statue
of
glory
,
and
reappearing
as
an
insignificant
head
while
the
boat
made
the
circle
back
to
him
.
Nicole
refused
her
turn
;
then
Rosemary
rode
the
board
neatly
and
conservatively
,
with
facetious
cheers
from
her
admirers
.
Three
of
them
scrambled
egotistically
for
the
honor
of
pulling
her
into
the
boat
,
managing
,
among
them
,
to
bruise
her
knee
and
hip
against
the
side
.
"
Now
you
.
Doctor
,
"
said
the
Mexican
at
the
wheel
.
Dick
and
the
last
young
man
dove
over
the
side
and
swam
to
the
board
.
Dick
was
going
to
try
his
lifting
trick
and
Nicole
began
to
watch
with
smiling
scorn
.
This
physical
showing
-
off
for
Rosemary
irritated
her
most
of
all
.
When
the
men
had
ridden
long
enough
to
find
their
balance
,
Dick
knelt
,
and
putting
the
back
of
his
neck
in
the
other
man
’
s
crotch
,
found
the
rope
through
his
legs
,
and
slowly
began
to
rise
.
The
people
in
the
boat
,
watching
closely
,
saw
that
he
was
having
difficulties
.
He
was
on
one
knee
;
the
trick
was
to
straighten
all
the
way
up
in
the
same
motion
with
which
he
left
his
kneeling
position
.
He
rested
for
a
moment
,
then
his
face
contracted
as
he
put
his
heart
into
the
strain
,
and
lifted
.
The
board
was
narrow
,
the
man
,
though
weighing
less
than
a
hundred
and
fifty
,
was
awkward
with
his
weight
and
grabbed
clumsily
at
Dick
’
s
head
.
When
,
with
a
last
wrenching
effort
of
his
back
,
Dick
stood
upright
,
the
board
slid
sidewise
and
the
pair
toppled
into
the
sea
.
In
the
boat
Rosemary
exclaimed
:
"
Wonderful
!
They
almost
had
it
.
"
But
as
they
came
back
to
the
swimmers
Nicole
watched
for
a
sight
of
Dick
’
s
face
.
It
was
full
of
annoyance
as
she
expected
,
because
he
had
done
the
thing
with
ease
only
two
years
ago
.
The
second
time
he
was
more
careful
.
He
rose
a
little
testing
the
balance
of
his
burden
,
settled
down
again
on
his
knee
;
then
,
grunting
"
Alley
oop
!
"
began
to
rise
—
but
before
he
could
really
straighten
out
,
his
legs
suddenly
buckled
and
he
shoved
the
board
away
with
his
feet
to
avoid
being
struck
as
they
fell
off
.
