"What are the symptoms ?" inquired Boyton, "You become chilly and have a numb feeling all over." "All right, I'll look out for them," and with that Paul waved a good bye to the multitude and struck gamely away in the teeth of the wind.

As night came on he was tired and imagined he could feel the symptoms of which the doctor had warned him.

He was just heading for shore when he heard a steamboat.

He burned a red light for her and she slowed up.

The passengers on deck cheered him and the Captain sang out: "How do you feel, Paul ?" "All right, report me above," was the answer, and the boat headed on up the river.
