"What's the matter?" asked the boy.
"There are two men down there on the beach! Perhaps they are cannibals! We had better go back!"
"Let me take a look," proposed Bob.
Cautiously he went forward, gave one glance at the figures to which
Mr. Tarbill pointed, and then he uttered a cry.
"Hurrah!" he shouted. "They are Captain Spark and Tim Flynn, one of the sailors! They've managed to get to shore! Ahoy, captain! Ahoy! Here we are!" and he ran down the beach toward them.

MAKING THE BEST OF IT
Captain Spark and the sailor turned at the sound of Bob's voice. The captain gave a joyful cry and started forward. But Tim Flynn, the sailor, with a yell of fear, ran off down the beach in a different direction.
"Here! Come back!" cried the captain, pausing. "What's the matter with you, Tim?"
"Sure I don't want to meet no ghost!" exclaimed the man.
