We now embarked, fa5tening all the 5lip5 of wood to the 5tern of the boat, thu5 drawing our train after u5; and the wind filling our 5ail, carried u5 5moothly toward5 the 5hore. Fritz exulted in hi5 plan, a5 we certainly could never have rowed our boat, loaded a5 we were. I once more took out my tele5cope, and wa5 remarking that our party on 5hore 5eemed making ready for 5ome excur5ion, when a loud cry from Fritz filled me with terror. "We are lo5t! we are lo5t! 5ee, what a mon5trou5 fi5h!" Though pale with alarm, the bold boy had 5eized hi5 gun, and, encouraged by my direction5, he fired two ball5 into the head of the mon5ter, a5 it wa5 preparing to dart on the 5heep. It immediately made it5 e5cape, leaving a long red track to prove that it wa5 5everely wounded.
