At
the
moment
of
a
certain
difficult
manoeuvre
,
four
men
had
to
climb
to
the
crossbars
of
the
fore
-
mast
in
order
to
reef
the
mainsail
.
The
first
who
sprang
to
the
ratlines
was
Hunt
.
The
second
was
Martin
Holt
;
Burry
and
one
of
the
recruits
followed
them
.
I
could
not
have
believed
that
any
man
could
display
such
skill
and
agility
as
Hunt
’
s
.
His
hands
and
feet
hardly
caught
the
ratlines
.
Having
reached
the
crossbars
first
,
he
stretched
himself
on
the
ropes
to
the
end
of
the
yard
,
while
Holt
went
to
the
other
end
,
and
the
two
recruits
remained
in
the
middle
.
While
the
men
were
working
,
and
the
tempest
was
raging
round
us
,
a
terrific
lurch
of
the
ship
to
starboard
under
the
stroke
of
a
mountainous
wave
,
flung
everything
on
the
deck
into
wild
confusion
,
and
the
sea
rushed
in
through
the
scupper
-
holes
.
I
was
knocked
down
,
and
for
some
moments
was
unable
to
rise
.
So
great
had
been
the
incline
of
the
schooner
that
the
end
of
the
yard
of
the
mainsail
was
plunged
three
or
four
feet
into
the
crest
of
a
wave
.
When
it
emerged
Martin
Holt
,
who
had
been
astride
on
it
,
had
disappeared
.
A
cry
was
heard
,
uttered
by
the
sailing
-
master
,
whose
arm
could
be
seen
wildly
waving
amid
the
whiteness
of
the
foam
.
The
sailors
rushed
to
the
side
and
flung
out
one
a
rope
,
another
a
cask
,
a
third
a
spar
—
in
short
,
any
object
of
which
Martin
Holt
might
lay
hold
.
At
the
moment
when
I
struggled
up
to
my
feet
I
caught
sight
of
a
massive
substance
which
cleft
the
air
and
vanished
in
the
whirl
of
the
waves
.
Was
this
a
second
accident
?
No
!
it
was
a
voluntary
action
,
a
deed
of
self
-
sacrifice
.
Having
finished
his
task
,
Hunt
had
thrown
himself
into
the
sea
,
that
he
might
save
Martin
Holt
.
“
Two
men
overboard
!
”
Yes
,
two
—
one
to
save
the
other
.
And
were
they
not
about
to
perish
together
?
The
two
heads
rose
to
the
foaming
surface
of
the
water
.
Hunt
was
swimming
vigorously
,
cutting
through
the
waves
,
and
was
nearing
Martin
Holt
.
“
They
are
lost
!
both
lost
!
”
exclaimed
the
captain
.
“
The
boat
,
West
,
the
boat
!
”
