Show
a
little
bit
more
sail
!
"
cried
Jack
as
we
swept
past
the
weather
side
of
the
rock
with
fearful
speed
.
"
Ay
,
ay
!
"
answered
Peterkin
,
hoisting
about
a
foot
more
of
our
sail
.
Little
though
the
addition
was
,
it
caused
the
boat
to
lie
over
and
creak
so
loudly
,
as
we
cleft
the
foaming
waves
,
that
I
expected
to
be
upset
every
instant
;
and
I
blamed
Jack
in
my
heart
for
his
rashness
.
But
I
did
him
injustice
;
for
although
during
two
seconds
the
water
rushed
inboard
in
a
torrent
,
he
succeeded
in
steering
us
sharply
round
to
the
leeward
side
of
the
rock
,
where
the
water
was
comparatively
calm
and
the
force
of
the
breeze
broken
.
"
Out
your
oars
now
,
lads
!
That
's
well
done
!
Give
way
!
"
We
obeyed
instantly
.
The
oars
splashed
into
the
waves
together
.
One
good
,
hearty
pull
,
and
we
were
floating
in
a
comparatively
calm
creek
that
was
so
narrow
as
to
be
barely
able
to
admit
our
boat
.
Here
we
were
in
perfect
safety
,
and
as
we
leaped
on
shore
and
fastened
our
cable
to
the
rocks
,
I
thanked
God
in
my
heart
for
our
deliverance
from
so
great
danger
.
But
although
I
have
said
we
were
now
in
safety
,
I
suspect
that
few
of
my
readers
would
have
envied
our
position
.
It
is
true
we
had
no
lack
of
food
;
but
we
were
drenched
to
the
skin
;
the
sea
was
foaming
round
us
,
and
the
spray
flying
over
our
heads
,
so
that
we
were
completely
enveloped
,
as
it
were
,
in
water
;
the
spot
on
which
we
had
landed
was
not
more
than
twelve
yards
in
diameter
,
and
from
this
spot
we
could
not
move
without
the
risk
of
being
swept
away
by
the
storm
.
At
the
upper
end
of
the
creek
was
a
small
hollow
or
cave
in
the
rock
,
which
sheltered
us
from
the
fury
of
the
winds
and
waves
;
and
as
the
rock
extended
in
a
sort
of
ledge
over
our
heads
,
it
prevented
the
spray
from
falling
upon
us
.
"
Why
,
"
said
Peterkin
,
beginning
to
feel
cheery
again
,
"
it
seems
to
me
that
we
have
got
into
a
mermaid
's
cave
,
for
there
is
nothing
but
water
all
round
us
;
and
as
for
earth
and
sky
,
they
are
things
of
the
past
.
"
Peterkin
's
idea
was
not
inappropriate
,
for
what
with
the
sea
roaring
in
white
foam
up
to
our
very
feet
,
and
the
spray
flying
in
white
sheets
continually
over
our
heads
,
and
the
water
dripping
heavily
from
the
ledge
above
like
a
curtain
in
front
of
our
cave
,
it
did
seem
to
us
very
much
more
like
being
below
than
above
water
.
"
Now
,
boys
,
"
cried
Jack
,
"
bestir
yourselves
,
and
let
's
make
ourselves
comfortable
.
--
Toss
out
our
provisions
,
Peterkin
;
and
here
,
Ralph
,
lend
a
hand
to
haul
up
the
boat
.
Look
sharp
!
"
"
Ay
,
ay
,
captain
!
"
we
cried
as
we
hastened
to
obey
,
much
cheered
by
the
hearty
manner
of
our
comrade
.
Fortunately
the
cave
,
although
not
very
deep
,
was
quite
dry
,
so
that
we
succeeded
in
making
ourselves
much
more
comfortable
than
could
have
been
expected
.
We
landed
our
provisions
,
wrung
the
water
out
of
our
garments
,
spread
our
sail
below
us
for
a
carpet
,
and
after
having
eaten
a
hearty
meal
,
began
to
feel
quite
cheerful
.
But
as
night
drew
on
our
spirits
sank
again
,
for
with
the
daylight
all
evidence
of
our
security
vanished
away
.
We
could
no
longer
see
the
firm
rock
on
which
we
lay
,
while
we
were
stunned
with
the
violence
of
the
tempest
that
raged
around
us
.
The
night
grew
pitchy
dark
as
it
advanced
,
so
that
we
could
not
see
our
hands
when
we
held
them
up
before
our
eyes
,
and
were
obliged
to
feel
each
other
occasionally
to
make
sure
that
we
were
safe
,
for
the
storm
at
last
became
so
terrible
that
it
was
difficult
to
make
our
voices
audible
.
A
slight
variation
of
the
wind
,
as
we
supposed
,
caused
a
few
drops
of
spray
ever
and
anon
to
blow
into
our
faces
;
and
the
eddy
of
the
sea
,
in
its
mad
boiling
,
washed
up
into
our
little
creek
until
it
reached
our
feet
and
threatened
to
tear
away
our
boat
.
In
order
to
prevent
this
latter
calamity
,
we
hauled
the
boat
farther
up
and
held
the
cable
in
our
hands
.
Occasional
flashes
of
lightning
shone
with
a
ghastly
glare
through
the
watery
curtains
around
us
,
and
lent
additional
horror
to
the
scene
.
Yet
we
longed
for
those
dismal
flashes
,
for
they
were
less
appalling
than
the
thick
blackness
that
succeeded
them
.
Crashing
peals
of
thunder
seemed
to
tear
the
skies
in
twain
,
and
fell
upon
our
ears
through
the
wild
yelling
of
the
hurricane
as
if
it
had
been
but
a
gentle
summer
breeze
;
while
the
billows
burst
upon
the
weather
side
of
the
island
until
we
fancied
that
the
solid
rock
was
giving
way
,
and
in
our
agony
we
clung
to
the
bare
ground
,
expecting
every
moment
to
be
whirled
away
and
whelmed
in
the
black
,
howling
sea
.
Oh
,
it
was
a
night
of
terrible
anxiety
!
and
no
one
can
conceive
the
feelings
of
intense
gratitude
and
relief
with
which
we
at
last
saw
the
dawn
of
day
break
through
the
vapoury
mists
around
us
.
