She was a very slow-going craft that-not able to do more than nine or ten knots at best-and another hour passed before she was anywhere near me. But, thank God! she came within a mile of me, and I made shift to stand up on my raft and to wave to her. And thereon she altered her course and lumbered over in my direction.
