Rupert Sargent had secured a life preserver, which he hastily adjusted to himself, but being dressed and finding the life preserver almost worthless from its flimsy character, it was difficult for him to make much headway. He was not over three-quarters of a mile from the main land, and if he determined to swim to the shore the wind and tide were against him; so he was obliged to abandon the attempt and strike out for the rocks known...
