Captain Sedley's attention was now directed to the trial of Tony, which would take place in a few days, and he was exceedingly desirous of ascertaining how Tim was affected towards him since the rescue. But the Thunderbolt had been laid up at Joe Braman's landing, and the Bunkers appeared to be dispersed and separated since the accident. CAPTAIN SEDLEY'S ATTENTION WAS NOW DIRECTED TO THE TRIAL OF TONY WHICH WOULD TAKE PLACE IN A FEW DAYS AND HE WAS EXCEEDINGLY DESIROUS OF ASCERTAINING HOW TIM WAS EFFECTED TOWARDS HIM SINCE THE RESCUE BUT THE THUNDERBOLT HAD BEEN LAID UP AT JOE BRAYMAN'S LANDING AND THE BUNKERS APPEARED TO BE DISPERSED AND SEPARATED SINCE THE ACCIDENT
 were very highly commended for their efficient labors on the occasion. If Frank had displayed less courage and address, or the discipline of the club had been less perfect, Tim must certainly have been drowned. This fact was rendered the more apparent by the contrast between the conduct of the crew of the Zephyr and that of the Thunderbolt. With all their exertion, on account of their want of discipline, the latter had been unable even to reach the spot until the former had received Tim on board. All the sympathies of the people were with the boat club. Nobody pitied Tim; for he was a quarrelsome, disagreeable boy, and had nearly lost his life in his attempt to gratify his malicious spite against his noble and generous deliverer. In a few days Tony, who had suffered more from the shock than Tim, was able to go out again. He was everywhere received with enthusiasm; and the first time the Zephyr visited Rippleton after the accident, people seemed determined to make a little lion of him. HE CREW OF THE BOAT WERE VERY HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THEIR EFFICIENT LABORS ON THE OCCASION IF FRANK HAD DISPLAYED LESS COURAGE AND ADDRESS OR THE DISCIPLINE OF THE CLUB HAD BEEN LESS PERFECT TIM MUST CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN DROWNED THIS FACT WAS RENDERED THE MORE APPARENT BY THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE CONDUCT OF THE CREW OF THE ZEPHYR AND THAT OF THE THUNDERBOLT WITH ALL THEIR EXERTION ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR WANT OF DISCIPLINE THE LATTER HAD BEEN UNABLE EVEN TO REACH THE SPOT UNTIL THE FORMER HAD RECEIVED TIM ON BOARD ALL THE SYMPATHIES OF THE PEOPLE WERE WITH THE BOAT CLUB NOBODY PITIED TIM FOR HE WAS A QUARRELSOME DISAGREEABLE BOY AND HAD NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE IN HIS ATTEMPT TO GRATIFY HIS MALICIOUS SPITE AGAINST HIS NOBLE AND GENEROUS DELIVERER IN A FEW DAYS TONY WHO HAD SUFFERED MORE FROM THE SHOCK THAN TIM WAS ABLE TO GO OUT AGAIN HE WAS EVERYWHERE RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM AND THE FIRST TIME THE ZEPHYR VISITED RIPPLETON AFTER THE ACCIDENT PEOPLE SEEMED DETERMINED TO MAKE A LITTLE LION OF HIM
