The wind had greatly fallen, and the yacht had all this time remained hove-to.  As soon as we had got on board, the boat was hoisted up.  Papa shouted, "Let go the fore-sheet;" and the cutter moving through the water, the yacht quickly passed the Dolphin.  She, however, immediately followed our example, and together we sailed on towards the brilliant light of the Eddystone.  We watched it for some time, and at length turned in; but before getting into our berths we heartily thanked God that by His great mercy our poor cousin had been delivered from a terrible death.  When we went on deck again, at early dawn, the Dolphin was astern of us.  We hove-to, and allowing her to come up with us, enquired after Jack.
