Hunston was one of the departing passengers.
Mr. Mole had not seen or heard anything of the storm, and knew nothing of the wreck until the water roused him in his berth.
He had gone to sleep with his clothes on.
It did not take him more than two minutes to scramble on deck.
All those who were saved were very much dejected, with the exception of Harry and Clara.
They hoped that after all the vicissitudes they had gone through, they would meet Jack.
The chance had seemed very remote.
He stood greatly in need of their help.
They had not gone far before they perceived three boats leaving the shore.
These were filled with fierce, bearded men.
