ned body of Egerton was dragged
into the boat that, guided by Harry's shout, had found and reached the
spot. In the confusion of rescuing the one, the other had drifted
away; and with heavy hearts the sailors rowed back to the ship. The
life that had just been snatched from the waters must not be sacrificed
by delay. Restoratives, care, and watching did their work, and
Egerton's life was spared.
But where was he who rescued him? The drowned body was picked up the
following day; for the captain tacked about, and would not leave till
it was recovered. And one quiet evening the noble body that met death
to save a foe, was lowered over the vessel's side, into its most
fitting resting-place, the waves it had battled with, there to lie
until the sea shall give up her dead.
And this was Harry Campbell's revenge!
