Presently we saw him stop the boat, and something was drawn in.

He signalled the ship.

He had found one man--but dead or alive?
The boat was rapidly rowed back to the ship, Hungerford making efforts for resuscitation.

Arrived at the vessel, the body was passed up to me.
It was that of Stone the quartermaster.

I worked to bring back life, but it was of no avail.
