Captain Hull, Dick Sand and two sailors got into it at once.
The dog barked all the time.

It tried to hold on to the netting, but every moment it fell back on the deck.

One would say that its barks were no longer addressed to those who were coming to him.

Were they then addressed to some sailors or passengers imprisoned in this ship?
"Is there, then, on board some shipwrecked one who has survived ?" Mrs.
Weldon asked herself.
A few strokes of the oars and the "Pilgrim's" boat would reach the capsized hull.
But, suddenly, the dog's manner changed.

Furious barks succeeded its first barks inviting the rescuers to come.
