"Get the girl!" commanded Brand. "For God's sake go for the girl," he
entreated in a frenzy of distress.
"No," said Knight, "the men first. She's all right."
"Here," said Duff to Brand, pushing out the remaining canoe, "get into
the bow, and stop howling. Those men are in danger of being drowned, but
Knight will get them. We'll go for the girl."
It took but a few minutes for Knight and Fielding, who knew their craft
thoroughly and how to get the best out of her in just such an emergency,
to draw up upon Harry and his rescuer.
"Say, they are fighting hard," said Fielding. "That bloody little fool
is choking the life out of Dunbar. My God! they are out of sight!"
"Go on," roared Knight. "Keep your eyes on the spot, and for Heaven's
sake, paddle!"
"They are up again! One of them is. It's Barry. The other is gone. No,
by Jove! he's got him! Hold on, Barry, we're coming," yelled Tom. "Stick
to it, old boy!"
Swiftly the canoe sped toward the drowning men.
"They are gone this time for sure," cried Tom, as the canoe shot over
the spot where the men had last been seen.
