A CLIMAX1.
Three of those who had tumbled thus unceremoniously on the deck of the Sunshine were soon sufficiently2 recovered to sit up and look around in dazed astonishment—namely Nigel, Moses, and the monkey—but the hermit3 still lay prone4 where he had been cast, with a pretty severe wound on his head, from which blood was flowing freely.
"Nigel, my boy!"
"Father!" exclaimed the youth. "Where am I? What has happened?"
"Don't excite yourself, lad," said the mariner5, stooping and whispering into his son's ear. "We've got her aboard!"
No treatment could have been more effectual in bringing Nigel to his senses than this whisper.
"Is—is—Van der Kemp safe?" he asked anxiously.
"All right—only stunned6, I think. That's him they're just goin' to carry below. Put 'im in my bunk7, Mr. Moor8."
"Ay ay, sir."
Nigel sprang up. "Stay, father," he said in a low voice. "She must not see him for the first time like this."
"All right, boy. I understand. You leave that to me. My bunk has bin9 shifted for'id—more amidships—an' Kathy's well aft. They shan't be let run foul10 of each other. You go an' rest on the main hatch till we get him down. Why, here's a nigger! Where did you pick him—oh! I remember. You're the man we met, I suppose, wi' the hermit on Krakatoa that day o' the excursion from Batavia."
