There!" There was a pause, which seemed to the girl to be endless, then the squire cried: "They have got them out, both of them;" and a loud cheer broke from all standing round.
"Come along, grandpapa, let us go down to them." "Stay a moment, my dear.

They may be hurt.

It's better you should not go." The girl stood, with her hands clasped, gazing at the fishermen grouped on the shore, stooping over the prostrate figures.

Then one of them stood up and waved his hand, and the spectators knew that all was well.
Then the girl ran down to join them.
"Why, Aggie!" James exclaimed in astonishment, as she pressed forward.
"Why, my dear, what brings you here in this storm?
Whatever will the squire say ?" "The squire has brought her down himself," Mr.Linthorne said, following closely behind his granddaughter; "and he is glad he did, James, for she has seen a grand sight.
"You are a fine fellow;" and he wrung the lad's hand.
"A grand fellow, Wilks, isn't he ?" "I always said so, squire," the old soldier said, his face beaming with satisfaction; "but now, let us get him home, and Aggie, too.

The child will be blown away." But, for a minute or two, they could not carry James off, so closely did the men and women press round him, and shake him by the hand.
