Then
we
perceived
a
boat
,
not
to
be
mistaken
for
that
of
our
schooner
in
form
or
dimensions
,
drifting
without
oars
or
paddle
,
seemingly
abandoned
to
the
current
.
We
had
but
one
idea
in
common
—
to
seize
at
any
cost
upon
this
derelict
craft
,
which
would
,
perhaps
,
prove
our
salvation
.
But
how
were
we
to
reach
it
?
how
were
we
to
get
it
in
to
the
point
of
Halbrane
Land
?
While
we
were
looking
distractedly
at
the
boat
and
at
each
other
,
there
came
a
sudden
splash
at
the
end
of
the
hillock
,
as
though
a
body
had
fallen
into
the
sea
.
It
was
Dirk
Peters
,
who
,
having
flung
off
his
clothes
,
had
sprung
from
the
top
of
a
rock
,
and
was
swimming
rapidly
towards
the
boat
before
we
made
him
out
.
We
cheered
him
heartily
.
I
never
beheld
anything
like
that
swimming
.
He
bounded
through
the
waves
like
a
porpoise
,
and
indeed
he
possessed
the
strength
and
swiftness
of
one
.
What
might
not
be
expected
of
such
a
man
!
In
a
few
minutes
the
half
-
breed
had
swum
several
cables
’
lengths
towards
the
boat
in
an
oblique
direction
.
We
could
only
see
his
head
like
a
black
speck
on
the
surface
of
the
rolling
waves
.
A
period
of
suspense
,
of
intense
watching
of
the
brave
swimmer
succeeded
.
Surely
,
surely
he
would
reach
the
boat
;
but
must
he
not
be
carried
away
with
it
?
Was
it
to
be
believed
that
even
his
great
strength
would
enable
him
,
swimming
,
to
tow
it
to
the
beach
?
“
After
all
,
why
should
there
not
be
oars
in
the
boat
?
”
said
the
boatswain
.
“
He
has
it
!
He
has
it
!
Hurrah
,
Dirk
,
hurrah
!
”
shouted
Hurliguerly
,
and
Endicott
echoed
his
exultant
cheer
.
The
half
-
breed
had
,
in
fact
,
reached
the
boat
and
raised
himself
alongside
half
out
of
the
water
.
His
big
,
strong
hand
grasped
the
side
,
and
at
the
risk
of
causing
the
boat
to
capsize
,
he
hoisted
himself
up
to
the
side
,
stepped
over
it
,
and
sat
down
to
draw
his
breath
.
