"Oh, Toddie, lie down, dear!"
"No, Flank, I's listenin'."
With her great glistening eyes, open to their widest extent, she quite terrified the boy.
"They is toming, Flank, they is toming! I's going home, Flank. Oh, I's going home!"
Frank was petrified with fear. He had never seen death, but something told him it must be like this. "listen, Flank; listen!"
Frank did listen now. Then he could distinctly hear a shout.
"Fred, Fred!" he cried, forgetting even Toddie in his excitement. "A boat, Fred! a boat! We're saved, and Toddie will live."
"Of tourse," said Toddie, "I's doin' to live. Listen adain."
They could now hear the sound of oars in rowlocks, and both the boys rushed overboard and down to the water's-edge, just as a cobble was beached.
Bunko jumped plash into the water and quickly drew the boat up, then Eean himself descended.
