Following the Equator
Part 1

CHAPTER VI
11/19

Rev.Mr.Gray says: "A captain many years in the traffic explained to me how a penitent could betaken.

'When a boy jumps overboard we just take a boat and pull ahead of him, then lie between him and the shore.

If he has not tired himself swimming, and passes the boat, keep on heading him in this way.

The dodge rarely fails.

The boy generally tires of swimming, gets into the boat of his own accord, and goes quietly on board." Yes, exhaustion is likely to make a boy quiet.
