JUST IN TIME ^ I ^HERE isnt a man on this boat can see-■- as far as Martin, said the captain of thefisherman, Lucy B., as he filled his pipe again. Why, one day last summer, when we wereanchored off Rocky Point, Martin said to me,pointing to some rocks up the harbor, Somethinghas just fallen over those cliffs, sir! Non-sense, I said, it was a gull diving into thewater. So we took a dory and rowed to theplace on the rocks where he thought he had seensomething fall into the sea. And there, sureenough, was something — it looked like a bundleof clothes floating on the water. Martin grappledit with his boat hook. And I tell you, sir, twas alittle boy who had climbed too far toward theedo^e of the cliff and fallen over. Five minutesmore and wed have been too late.
