Did you ever hear of that ?--A water party; and by some accident she was falling overboard.

He caught her." "He did.

I was there--one of the party." "Were you really ?--Well!--But you observed nothing of course, for it seems to be a new idea to you .-- If I had been there, I think I should have made some discoveries." "I dare say you would; but I, simple I, saw nothing but the fact, that Miss Fairfax was nearly dashed from the vessel and that Mr.Dixon caught her .-- It was the work of a moment.

And though the consequent shock and alarm was very great and much more durable--indeed I believe it was half an hour before any of us were comfortable again--yet that was too general a sensation for any thing of peculiar anxiety to be observable.

I do not mean to say, however, that you might not have made discoveries." The conversation was here interrupted.
