Chapter XIII
PAUL MAKES A NIGHT RUN IN THE STORM. "John, John!" shouted Paul, when he realized the dangerous situation of the Fawn. But the first mate of the craft slept too soundly to be disturbed by mere words, and the skipper had to shake him before he came to his senses. "What is the matter, Paul?" asked he, as soon as he could get his eyes open and realize where he was. "Put on your greatcoat and shoes, and come out here and be lively about it," cried Paul.
