This enabled him, but only by patiently and artfully watching the fluctuations up aud down of those floating bodies, to spring at the nick of time from the hard gnund, and carry them all to the surface for a few seconds. The rest is detail, and his own narrative makes it clear. But see what intellectual sud moral qualities were here combined. Genius is often without courage courage is generally without genius, and so indeed is bare skill; and, in desperate danger, how often has courage and relied on precedent, that did not fit the novel danger, and so lead it, to death.

But this man, even aa In body touched the water, was all cool courage and swift inventive genius. He did not repeat himself, as mere skill does. Hugged in the water by a single man- -the baker he hit, with prompt invention, putue one way to save both lives he used the bakersown chest as the fulcrum, and so tore himself free. But clutched by a dozen, and more, he never attempted to get free at all, but straightened and stiffened himself into an upright post, and used the gnud fulcrum, to save himself and those who were drowning themselves and lum.
