Spent from a trying fit of coughing, his nerves crying for the rest which was denied him, the sick man had gazed across to where the shuttle of sunset was weaving its fabric of changing colors upon sky and water. But he had not seen those glad lights; had not heard the cries of the haven-seeking gulls or the soft plaintive notes of the night birds from the Point forest.

"It's wonderful that you should bother with us. I can't thank you——","Why, sure we was, but we were stuck tight. You might have passed us, easy enough."，“Can you row?” asked the gentleman with the glasses.，"That's all.
