"Do you take one of his arms and I will take the other, and get him into that trap." A quarter of an hour later, Reuben was in bed at the hotel.

Mr.
Hudson brought him up a basin of clear soup.

Having drunk this, he turned over and was, in a very few minutes, asleep.

The captain and most of the other passengers were at the same hotel, and there was great excitement when the news arrived of the terrible danger the two girls had run.

Mrs.Hudson had, from her early life, been accustomed to emergencies; and the instant the girls arrived she took them up to the room they shared between them, and insisted upon their going at once to bed, after partaking of a cup of tea.
"What am I to do for this young fellow, Wilson ?" Mr.Hudson asked as, having seen his patient comfortably in bed, he returned downstairs, and took a seat in the verandah by his fellow passenger.
