Falling in took time, especially as they did it sulkily; and when the noise of shifting feet was finished I heard oars thumping in the oar-locks.
A boat grounded amid the surf, and Ranjoor Singh jumped out of it, followed by Tugendheim and his four guards.

The boat's crew leaped into the water and hauled the boat high and dry, and as they did that I saw the ship's lantern disappear altogether.
Ranjoor Singh went straight to the Turkish captain.

"Your money," said he, speaking in English slowly--I wonder, sahib, oh, I have wondered a thousand times in what medley of tongues strange to all of them they had done their bargaining!--"Your money," said he, "is in the boat in which I came.

Take it, and take your men, and go!" The captain and his crew said nothing, but got into the boats and pushed away.

One of the boats was overturned in the surf, and there they left it, the sailors scrambling into the other boats.
