They do not attempt to row. One man does all the work with one scull. This scull he puts down through the water till it touches the bed of the ocean, and then he shoves. "Deep sea punting" would be the technical term for the method, we presume. In this way do they toil  or rather, to speak correctly, does the one man toil  through the awful night, until with joy they see before them the light house rocks. The light house keeper comes out with a lantern.

und and round the mast and scream; the heroine, carrying the stage child in her arms and with her back hair down, rushes about and gets in everybody's way. The comic man alone is calm! The next instant the bulwarks fall down flat on the deck and the mast goes straight up into the sky and disappears, then the water reaches the powder magazine and there is a terrific explosion. This is followed by a sound as of linen sheets being ripped up, and the passengers and crew hurry downstairs into the cabin, evidently with the idea of getting out of the way of the sea, which has climbed up and is now level with the deck. The next moment the vessel separates in the middle and goes off R. and L., so as to make room for a small boat containing the heroine, the child, the comic man, and one sailor. The way small boats are managed at (stage) sea is even more wonderful than the way in which ships are sailed. To begin with, everybody sits sideways along the middle of the boat, all facing the starboard. NSTANT THE CREW RUN ROUND AND ROUND THE MAST AND SCREAM THE HEROINE CARRYING THE STAGE CHILD IN HER ARMS AND WITH HER BACK HAIR DOWN RUSHES ABOUT AND GETS IN EVERYBODY'S WAY THE COMIC MAN ALONE IS CALM THE NEXT INSTANT THE BULWARKS FLY FAT ON THE DECK AND THE MASS GO STRAIGHT UP INTO THE SKY AND DISAPPEARS THEN THE WATER REACHES THE POWDER MAGAZINE AND THERE'S A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION THIS IS FOLLOWED BY THE SOUND AS OF LINEN SHEETS BEING RIPPED UP AND THE PASSENGERS AND CREW HURRY DOWNSTAIRS INTO THE CABIN EVIDENTLY WITH THE IDEA OF GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SEA WHICH HAS CLIMBED UP AND IS NOW LEVEL WITH THE DECK THE NEXT MOMENT THE VESSEL SEPARATES IN THE MIDDLE AND GOES OFF RIGHT AND LEFT AS TO MAKE THE ROOM FOR THE SMALL BOAT CONTAINING THE HEROINE THE CHILD THE COMIC MAN AND ONE SAILOR THE WAY SMALL BOATS ARE MANAGED AT STAGE SEA IS EVEN MORE WONDERFUL THAN THE WAY IN WHICH SIX SHIPS ARE SAILED TO BEGIN WITH EVERYBODY SITS SIDEWAYS ALONG THE MIDDLE OF THE BOAT ALL FACING STARBOARD
