Jerry and Jack Broxton heard the cry, and immediately put about in their yacht.
Harry was swimming along on his side. The girl was too weak to support herself, and he was holding her up well out of the water.
It took the Whistler but a moment to run up alongside of the pair. Jerry reached over and caught hold of the girl and placed her on deck.
In the meantime Harry secured a rope thrown by Jack Broxton and pulled himself up.
A cheer arose from those on the excursion boat.
The girl was too exhausted to move, and both boys rubbed her hands and did what they could for her.
Jack Broxton ran up alongside of the steamboat and a little later the girl was placed on board.
The mother clasped her child to her breast.
“Go ahead, Jack,” said Harry in a low voice. “I don’t want the crowd to stare at me.”
