Fred took the boat hook, and went forward to the bow of the Zephyr. "There he is!" exclaimed Tony, as he caught a sight of the drowning boy beneath the surface. Fred dropped his boat hook into the water intending to fasten it into Tim's clothes. "He sinks again!" cried Tony, throwing off his jacket and shoes. Before any of the crew could fully understand his purpose, so quick were his movements, he dived from the bow of the boat deep down into the water. The boys held their breath in the intensity of their feelings. FRED TOOK THE BOATHOOK AND WENT FORWARD TO THE BOW OF THE ZEPHYR THERE HE IS EXCLAIMED TONY AS HE CAUGHT SIGHT OF THE DROWNING BOY BENEATH THE SURFACE FRED DROPPED HIS BOATHOOK INTO THE WATER INTENDING TO FASTEN IT INTO TIM'S CLOTHES HE SINKS AGAIN CRIED TONY THROWING OFF HIS JACKET AND SHOES BEFORE ANY OF THE CREW COULD FULLY UNDERSTAND HIS PURPOSE SO QUICK WERE HIS MOVEMENTS HE DIVED FROM THE BOW OF THE BOAT DEEP DOWN INTO THE WATER THE BOYS HELD THEIR BREATH IN THE INTENSITY OF THEIR FEELINGS
kers were, used their oars with skill and energy. The presence of mind which Frank displayed inspired them with courage, and the Zephyr darted forward towards the spot where Tim had gone down. "There he is ahead!" exclaimed Frank, with frantic earnestness; "pull with all your might!" "Help! Save me!" cried Tim, as he rose to the surface. The boats were both several rods distant from him. He did not swim, but seemed to struggle with all his strength, apparently with a spasmodic effort, as though he had entirely lost his self-control. "Tony, stand by with your boat-hook," shouted Frank. But Tim struggled only for an instant on the surface, and then went down again. "Way enough!" said Frank, as the Zephyr approached the spot. "Hold water! Oars!" The boat, under the skilful management of the resolute young coxswain, lost her headway, and lay motionless on the water near the spot where Tim had last appeared. "Do you see him, Tony?" "No." "Fred, forward with your boat-hook," continued Frank. ERBOARD THE CREW THOUGH AFFECTED TO SOME EXTENT AS THE BUNKERS WERE USED THEIR OARS WITH SKILL AND ENERGY THE PRESENCE OF MIND WHICH FRANK DISPLAYED INSPIRED THEM WITH COURAGE AND THE ZEPHYR DARTED FORWARD TOWARDS THE SPOT WHERE TIM HAD GONE DOWN THERE HE IS AHEAD EXCLAIMED FRANK WITH FRANTIC EARNESTNESS PULL WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT HELP SAVE ME CRIED TIM AS HE ROSE TO THE SURFACE THE BOYS WERE BOTH SEVERAL RODS DISTANT FROM HIM HE DID NOT SWIM BUT SEEMED TO STRUGGLE WITH ALL HIS STRENGTH APPARENTLY WITH A SPASMODIC EFFORT AS THOUGH HE HAD ENTIRELY LOST HIS SELF CONTROL TONY STAND BY WITH YOUR BOAT HOOK SHOUTED FRANK BUT TIM STRUGGLED ONLY FOR AN INSTANT ON THE SURFACE AND THEN WENT DOWN AGAIN WAY ENOUGH SAID FRANK AS THE ZEPHYR APPROACHED THE SPOT HOLD WATER OARS THE BOAT UNDER THE SKILFUL MANAGEMENT OF THE RESOLUTE YOUNG COXWAIN LOST HER HEADWAY AND LAY MOTIONLESS ON THE WATER NEAR THE SPOT WHERE TIM HAD LAST APPEARED DO YOU SEE HIM TONY NO FRED FORWARD WITH YOUR BOATHOOK CONTINUED FRANK
