The boat was driven nearer and nearer to the shore. “It is going to strike and we must jump for the land,” screamed Johnny. The instant after, the boat did strike, and Tellef and John were thrown head first onto the smooth beach. The fairy set out immediately, and an hour afterwards she was seen arriving in a chariot of fire, drawn by dragons. “If they did that,” exploded the rancher, “there’d be nothing to it.
