I began to run forward, though of course I could have done nothing whatever; when all at once I saw a splendid sight.

A man who was standing not far off ran to the edge and plunged in--a magnificent 'header!' He had only thrown away his hat and coat.

They say it's very deep just here.

He disappeared completely, and then in a few seconds I saw that he had hold of the child.

He brought her out where the bank slopes yonder--no harm done.
