Chapter 16

Rescue

Hal thought he heard a cry across the sea. It might have been only the scream of a gull - but it might have been the call of the lookout. He listened intently. Now he heard it again and there was no mistake. It came faint but clear:

‘Blows! Blows!’

Thank the Lord for the sharp eyes of that lookout, thought Hal. He had been seen. No, not he, but the whale. He himself would not be visible at that distance, especially since his colour was exactly the same as that of the whale’s back, both painted dull red by the bloody spouts.

He saw another figure climb into the rings. That would be the captain. The lookout went down out of sight.

‘Bless his hide, whoever he is,’ said Hal fervently.

It seemed a very long time before the boats appeared. The men in. those boats were coming after a whale - they could have no idea that a man was aboard.

Hal prepared to give them the surprise of their lives.
