When the Avenger was at Lisbon, the boy fell over-board, and would have
perished, had it not been for Lieutenant Marryat, who, at the risk of his own
life, sprung into the sea, and rescued the boy
.
In a few minutes a Bedouin Arab, who had been watching the boat from .some
high ground, came toward them and conducted them to his hut, where he
supplied them with some milk: and having lighted a fire, they were enabled to
dry their clothes.
They remained with their hospitable entertainer during that day, and in
the evening made a supper of maize-cake and sour milk. In the meantime, Mr.
Rooke had made the Arab understand their situation, and their wish to get
to Tunis; and after some trouble and promise of reward, he agreed to
conduct them next morning to Biserta. The wearied men then threw
themselves on the ground, where they passed the night in company with dogs,
cows, and goats, exposed to a violent wind and pouring rain.
