But he always had to do what Jack did as a little one, and Jack led him into all sorts of mischief, till one day when they were about ten they went off bird's-nesting along the cliffs High Shale Point way, and only Jack come back late at night to say his brother had gone over the cliff.

Dick tore off with some of the chaps from the shore.

It were dark and windy, and they all said it was no use, but Dick insisted upon going down the face of the cliff on a rope to find him.

And find him at last he did on a ledge about a hundred feet down.

He was so badly hurt that he thought he'd broke his back, and he didn't dare move him till morning, but just stayed there with him all night long.
