Chapter X
A BATTLE WITH THE ELEMENTS. The two oarsmen sprang on board of the La Motte, Chuck taking the painter. The schooner was not anchored near enough to the island to shelter her entirely from the fury of the blast, and she was making rather rough weather of it. The tender banged against her sides, and Angy was in a hurry to get on board. "Come, Dory!" shouted he to his prisoner.
