Haul up a little! A wave nearly took her, just then!" With that, we hauled her up a little, and almost at the same moment I saw the boat rising on a wave.

By that time, it was an oar's length from the ship.
"They say they can't pull back," shouted Mr.Chipperton.

"Don't let her down any further." "All right!" I roared back at him.

"We'll bring her in another boat," and I began to pull up with all my might.
Rectus took hold of the rope with me, and we soon had Corny on deck.

She ran to the stern and held out her arms to the boat.
"Oh, father!" she cried.
