It contained only a single person, who\u003cbr\u003ewas either a dwarf or a boy, for he was small in stature. He lay upon\u003cbr\u003ea seat near the stern of the boat, with his feet on the gunwale. He\u003cbr\u003ewas either asleep or dead, for though the ship had approached within\u003cbr\u003ehail, he neither moved nor made any sign. The wind was light from the\u003cbr\u003esouthward, and the sea was quite calm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What do you make of it, Ryder?\" called the officer of the deck to the\u003cbr\u003esecond master, who was on duty forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is a flat-bottomed boat, half full of water, with a boy in it,\"\u003cbr\u003eanswered Ryder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hail him,\" added the officer of the deck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Boat, ahoy!\" shouted Ryder, at the top of his lungs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe person in the boat, boy or man, made no reply. Ryder repeated the\u003cbr\u003ehail, but with no better success. The officers and seamen held their\u003cbr\u003ebreath with interest and excitement, for most of them had already come\u003cbr\u003eto the conclusion that the occupant of the boat was dead. A feeling\u003cbr\u003eakin to horror crept through the minds of the more timid, as they\u003cbr\u003egazed upon the immovable body in the dilapidated craft; for they felt\u003cbr\u003ethat they were in the presence of death, and to young people this is\u003cbr\u003ealways an impressive season. By this time the ship was within a short\u003cbr\u003edistance of the water-logged bateau. As the waif on the ocean\u003cbr\u003eexhibited no signs of life, the first lieutenant, in charge of the\u003cbr\u003evessel, was in doubt as to what he should do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough he knew that it was the first duty of a sailor to assist a\u003cbr\u003ehuman being in distress, he was not sure that the same effort was\u003cbr\u003erequired in behalf of one who had already ceased to live. Captain\u003cbr\u003eCumberland, in command of the ship, who had been in the cabin when\u003cbr\u003ethe excitement commenced, now appeared upon the quarter-deck, and\u003cbr\u003erelieved the officer of the responsibility of the moment. Judson\u003cbr\u003ereported the cause of the unwonted scene on deck, and as the captain\u003cbr\u003ediscovered the little boat, just on the weather bow, he promptly\u003cbr\u003edirected the ship to be hove to.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145686466800,"sku":"2940013484078","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013484078_p0.jpg?v=1763582083","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013484078","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
