His orders were scarcely executed, when the ship bulged upon a reef of rocks, and the impetuous waves rushed into the vessel:—a general groan ensued. Ferdinand flew to save his sister, whom he carried to the boat, which was nearly filled by the captain and most of the crew. The sea ran so high that it appeared impracticable to reach the shore: but the boat had not moved many yards, when the ship went to pieces.

He lifted the rabbit foot to his face and breathed some words upon it. Then in measured tones he recited:,"Ay, but they don't sing," said Captain Acton.
