There was a little wharf, at which the Seaburys kept a couple of rowboats, and, as six were too many to go into one craft, Nellie and Jerry occupied the smaller, while Bob and Ned, Olivia and Rose, got into the other.

Meanwhile, rowboats threw lines to help draw the limping, smoldering Prosper toward refuge.
