Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hard Cash, Vol. 2 of 3 "On deck for your lives!" cried Dodd, forgetting in that awful moment he was not the captain; and drove them all up, Robarts included, and caught hold of Mrs. Beresford and Freddy at their cabin-door and half carried them with him. Just as they got on deck the third wave, a high one, struck the ship and lifted her bodily up, canted her round, and dashed her down again some yards to leeward, throwing them down on the hard and streaming deck. At this tremendous shock the ship seemed a live thing shrieking and wailing, as well as quivering with the blow. But one voice dissented loudly from the general dismay. "All right, men," cried Dodd, firm and trumpet-like. "She is broadside on now. Captain Robarts, look alive, sir! Speak to the men! don´t go to sleep!" Robarts was in a lethargy of fear. At this appeal he started into a fury of ephemeral courage: "Stick to the ship," he yelled; "there is no danger if you stick to the ship," and with this snatched a life buoy, and hurled himself into the sea. Dodd caught up the trumpet that fell from his hand, and roared, "I command this ship. Officers, come round me! Men, to your quarters! Come, bear a hand here, and fire a gun! That will show us where we are, and let the Frenchmen know." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
