“That’s right,” agreed Fred. “I’ll stay here with John.”
“No one need stay with me,” said John. “I’m getting my wind back now and as soon as I get a little strength I’ll be as good as ever.”
“What made you swim so far out anyway?” demanded Fred.
“I don’t know. I guess I was crazy.”
“You were worse than that,” exclaimed Fred. “You were a fool.”
“Don’t tell me that; I know it myself now. We always do when it’s too late.”
“Well, I can tell you one thing,” said Grant warmly. “You wouldn’t be here now if it hadn’t been for Sam.”
“Right you are,” John agreed. “I certainly owe my life to you, Sam.”
“Ah guess mebbe Ah will bafe mah shouldah,” said Sam, much embarrassed and ill at ease from all the compliments that were being given him.
“We’ll all go with you,” said John. “I’m all right now.”
