Farewell....
After a brief farewell to me added, there came the subscription "Charles Boyd;" and that was all.

Why he cried out "Man overboard" (for now I recognised that it was his voice which gave the alarm), I do not know, except that he wished his body to be recovered, and to receive burial.
Just here, some one came fumbling at the curtain of my cabin.

I heard a gasp--"Doctor--my head! quick!" I looked out.

As I drew the curtain a worthless lascar sailor fell fainting into my cabin.

He had been drinking a good deal, and the horror and excitement of the accident had brought on an apoplectic fit.
