Chapter II
A groan of ultimate anguish rose from Eric Hermannson's bowed head, and the sound was like the groan of a great tree when it falls in the forest. The minister rose suddenly to his feet and threw back his head, crying in a loud voice: "_Lazarus, come forth!_ Eric Hermannson, you are lost, going down at sea. In the name of God, and Jesus Christ his Son, I throw you the life-line. Take hold!
