"Father, dear father, I am all right! don't be alarmed. Only rather
weak from having been out in the cold all night," cried a voice which
Sir Baldwin recognised as that of his son Harry.
"Paul, you have repaid me, and more than repaid me," exclaimed the
baronet, after the first greetings with Harry were over. "I knew that
you would. Do what is right and kind on all occasions, and good will
come out of it somehow or other, though we do not always exactly see how
it is to be. That is what I have always said, and what has happened is
a strong proof that what I have said is true."
The shipwrecked seamen were received into the manor house, and carefully
tended. Harry was almost himself again by the evening, and all agreed
that that Christmas Day, if not as merry, was as happy as any that the
family had spent. They had many great blessings to be thankful for, and
among them, not the least to the parents' hearts, was that their
sailor-boy, after all the perils he had gone through, had once more been
restored to them in safety.
