STAGE…LAND。
and L。； so as to make room for a small boat containing the heroine； the
child； the comic man； and one sailor。
The way small boats are managed at （stage） sea is even more
wonderful than the way in which ships are sailed。
To begin with； everybody sits sideways along the middle of the boat；
all facing the starboard。 They do not attempt to row。 One man does all
the work with one scull。 This scull he puts down through the water till it
touches the bed of the ocean； and then he shoves。
〃Deep…sea punting〃 would be the technical term for the method； we
presume。
In this way do they toilor rather； to speak correct｛y； does the one
man toilthrough the awful night； until with joy they see before them the
light…house rocks。
The light…house keeper comes out with a lantern。 The boat is run in
among the breakers and all are saved。
And then the band plays。
